In the early summer he made a quick inroad south of the French Broad.

At the head of over a hundred hard riders he fell suddenly on the camp of a war party, took a dozen scalps, and scattered the rest of the Indians in every direction.

In midsummer peace was made by a treaty at the Great Island of the Holston.
