Treaty-making

From The Kentuckians by Janet Holt Giles:

"Still, I thought it more than likely he (George Rogers Clark) was right about Arthur Campbell and Billy Russell.  Besides, both had been hand in glove with Colonel Henderson, along with the Robertson brothers, in the treaty-making."

Sixty years in a school-room....,  By Julia Ann Tevis, John Tevis:

He  [General Sam Houston] was an officer in the same regiment [as the author's brother, who was Quin Hieronymus]--a young man of fine appearance, tall, erect, and well-proportioned, with agreeable manners. I remember him well, because my brother was much attached to him.

Thirty-five years afterwards I met him in Lexington, attending the funeral obsequies of Henry Clay. Time had dealt lightly with him; he had not lost his soldierly bearing, and seemed yet in the vigor of manhood though his hair and beard were frosted by the passing years.

...a large Seminole villae, near Mosquito Inlet, was reached, and, after surrounding it, at dawn of day on the 10th the dragoons, under McNeil and May, charged the enemy... .  Our loss was the gallant McNeil, who received a mortal wound while leading his men.  This officer--one of the youngest in service--was deeply regretted, both on account of personal and professional worth; he came of a valiant race--son of General John McNeil, late of the army, and grandson of General Benjamin Pierce,* of New Hampshire, a hero of the Revolution.

*Father of McNeil's mother, Elizabeth Andrews Pierce McNeil, and President Franklin Pierce
