Lafayette was overjoyed at being chosen for so important a charge; and on the 24th of May, 1778, he started out with about twenty-two hundred men. His force included the band of Iroquois warriors who had come from Albany to follow his fortunes, and who, because of their knowledge of forest-craft, were invaluable as scouts.
His soul was afire with anxiety. Aim-sa was an expert in forest-craft, but she was a woman. So he hasted. The world about him might have been bathed in the blackness of night for all he heeded it; only the track of footsteps stood out to his gaze like a trail of fire. His speed was great; nor was he conscious how great.
"It would be madness to remain madness and death. The woman she possesses some mysterious power over this brute, her paramour: she will guard them."

Raoul knew all the country, the thickets and the passes.
Carter, three daughters, well grown, buxom girls, full of life and fun, and a son, who, though only fourteen years of age, was a fine rider and versed in forest-craft.
