for The Thomson News Strvice by Harold a Newfoundland writer IthjppensthatMr Horwood the one writer mentioned in book about whom I have been most critical I have him directly and by inference with jumping to conclusions unwarranted by the facts and painting a one sided picture of settler and by plication thereby encouraging other writers such as Wintere KLlly to utilize these assertions to produce still more bizarre and sensational accounts One outs is landing example contained in Horwood a article on the in Maclean magazine in which hi gives an account of the Harbor massacre of at an unspecified date Concerning L S Upton Professor of History at the University British Columbia and a recognized authority on Canadian aboriginal life points out that Norwood bases his account on three lines in Howley book and that assertions were offered without support It goes against oil probability that in one place at one lime men women and children to be slaughtered on thii scale John the world recognized authority on vocabulary puts it more succinctly when he that it was about as likely as that polar bears would have congregated at Hants Harbor at one lime Nowhere in his review does indicate that he is in legal parlance on in party Instead after quibbling over a few points which space does not permit to deal with here he proceeds to make a blanket charge lhat what I tried to do in the book was to create a cover up for the Newfoundland settlers a hydro m II street Ontario L7G GEORGETOWN HYDROELECTRIC COMMISSION RETAIL RATES JANUARY 1st GENERAL SERVICE Demand First SO

HYDROELECTRIC COMMISSION I I including as he mentioned three times in his short review my own ancestors In fact he suggests that one of the reasons for my writing the book may have been the in volvement of may ancestors in the Peyton capture of Mary March the murder of her husband This is patent nonsense For one thing I described this Peyton expedition as in credibly stupid and ill considered and Ihe murder of Mary March husband as an intolerable act of brutality and the subsequent Grand Jury report as one of the most flagrant pieces of coverup to British colonial history This hardly looks like whitewash on my part Indeed the fact thai I dedicated the book to Mary s husband who gave bis life to a courageous but suicidal attempt to rescue from the bands of settlers In Notre Dame Bay indicates my feelings about this brutal tragedy Finally on this point 1 should point out that while my ancestors had confrontations with the Beothuks almost invariably occasioned when the Beothuks stole or hied lo steal their vital implements and food plies contrary to what Horwood says none of these ancestors were members of the party which captured Mary March and murdered her husband Here it appears that wood did not read all the book or if he did he chose to ignore what I wrote Over and over I stressed the inexcusable brutality of some the set tiers and the role this brutality played In hastening the ex Unction process Thus in the opening chapter I say there is no defence or apology possible for actions of some of the settlers They did murder and they committed other indefensible outrages gainst them contributing to the decline and eventual extinction of that people Again in Chapter I say Nothing lhat has been said chapter should be con strued as an attempt to minimize the enormity of the brutality exercised by a small group of European settlers against the In Chapter 1 give details of what I called the frightful savagery of the Miller a of 1785 as related in Pulling In the concluding pages of the book 1 say No one who has studied the impressive sometimes revolting evidence can deny that atrocities of a most barbaric kind were committed and an unknown number of Beothuks met their deaths from the guns pi settlers and victual resulting In of Beothuk numbers even if the decline of was an inexorable process as Upton and other scholars believe today given all the factors including tuberculosis at work in the latter years of these peopto the mayhem and or which wart responsible moat accelerated that this book tried to do as James Tuck recognised
