Note 81 — Chapter IV
Reading edition
One of the most curious of errors. This river was called by the Indians Eel River, and is the name translated by the French, Rivière l’Anguille. Hamilton mistook this for l’Anglais, which name he used. Cf. Imlay’s America, p. 402, where the name is spelled Longuille; American State Papers, vol. iv, p. 132; Gamelin’s Journal, Id., p. 93.
