Never really gave much thought to the Amherst name, but as I do, I realize that the injuns in the French and Indian War were far more savage than their English counterparts, and damned if I wouldn’t have worked to wipe them out in any ways, as well as in manners similar to old Lord Jeffery’s.

As an afterthought, they could call the town “Dickinson”.
