Tonty Memoire, MS. This was on his return from the Iroquois. The perverted Dernieres Decouvertes, published without authority, under Tonty's name, says that he was attended by a slave whom the Illinois sent with him as interpreter. A young warrior stabbed at his heart with a knife, but the point glanced aside against a rib, inflicting only a deep gash.
This portion of it, which bears every evidence of accuracy, was certainly supplied by Tonty himself or one of his companions. The Memoire of Tonty is wholly distinct. It is a modest and simple statement, of which the chief fault is its brevity. He undoubtedly wrote another and more detailed narrative, which has been used by the editor of the Dernieres Decouvertes, printed with Tonty's name.
