Note 23 — CHRONICLES OF BORDER WARFARE (continued 4)

Butterfield’s History of the Girtys (Cincinnati, 1890) is a valuable contribution to Western history. Simon, James, and George Girty were notorious renegade whites, who aided the Indians against the borderers from 1778 to 1783; Simon and George were similarly active in the Indian war of 1790-95.––R.
