Writing a history of the United States; Hodgdon and St. Clair defeat

Mease observes that one of his sources of amusement during his period of solitude has been the arrangement of materials for a history of the United States. It will begin with the establishment of the present government with the end as yet undetermined. Discussion of the Indian Wars in which the government has been so unhappily engaged and which has cost so much blood will include General St. Clair's expedition. As Hodgdon was so seriously implicated by the report of the committee of congress on subject of St. Clair's expedition, Hodgdon is asked to furnish his defense in response to the charges brought against him. Mentions protraction of the war and deficient system of philanthropy.
