Smith and cleared land in the
wilderness around Detroit until
the debt was paid.
This was not the end of his
experiences. In an English

drunk and damned the king.
His subsequent jailing sobered
him somewhat.
He goes on to tell of his unwilling induction into the British army, his two unsuccessful
attempts to desert and the 500
lashes he received in punishment.
Eventually , he escaped
