Summary
These documents were created by representatives of the Paxton Boys as a written defence of their massacre of the Conestoga Indians. "A Declaration" was written before the Paxton Boys arrived in Germantown, and Matthew Smith and James Gibson completed the "Remonstrance" on February 13. Both documents were later published together as "A declaration and remonstrance of the distressed and bleeding frontier inhabitants of the province of Pennsylvania". This book is a facsimile of an early published copy of the texts.

Summary
The article refers to a 17 page letter that John Dickinson wrote to the Paxton Boys in 1764. It follows that group's murder of the Conestoga Indians of Lancaster, PA. The letter is not shown, but the author is making the point that Dickinson, a member of the Pennsylvania Assembly, was trying to persuade the group not to move against the Moravian Indians near Philadelphia by appealing to the Paxton's own self interest and showing understanding for their concerns and motivations.
