REBELLION AND CHANGE.
Bacon with an increased army now rode out once more against the Indians.
He made a rendezvous on the upper York--the old Pamunkey--and to this center he gathered horsemen until there may have been with him not far from a thousand mounted men.

From here he sent detachments against the red men's villages in all the upper troubled country, and afar into the sunset woods where the pioneer's cabin had not yet been builded.

He acted with vigor.

The Indians could not stand against his horsemen and concerted measures, and back they fell before the white men, westward again; or, if they stayed in the ever dwindling villages, they gave hostages and oaths of peace.
