Upon one occasion Lord Dunmore had employed the Shawnee hostages with him. As a personal guard against Colonial violence. They not unnaturally, therefore, fancied themselves likewise hated by the Long Knives, and destined to fall victims to the enmity of the latter. Similar suspicions were excited in the Indian villages by Loyalist traders, and the king's Indian agents were already gathering the Northern tribes to resist the proposed American in vasion of Canada.
