An anecdote about Indians related by Edward Coles, governor of Illinois, 1841 10mo 26.

Box 25

Scope and Contents

A white man asked for the help of some young Native men to butcher hogs, offering them half in return for their help. The young men suspected that the hogs were stolen, and brought the concern to their chief. The chief figured out that the white man had stolen the hogs from Coles, and summoned Coles. When Coles saw his hogs butched, he became angry, assuming that the Native men had stolen them. The chief waited for Coles to tire himself out before saying, "Knowing that white man to be a bad man, I sent for you in whom I have more confidence to tell you the circumstances - if the hogs are yours take them. If they belonged to the other, they are now ours." Coles' point was that in that moment, the chief behaved more "Christian" than he did in that moment.
