| | Gov. Reynolds' notes on John Duff, the Cave-in-Rock counterfeiter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) |
 | | Clark secured his boats, and engaged John Saunders, one of Duff's hunting-party, to be his guide to Kaskaskia. |
 | | At one time, poor Saunders, the guide, was bewildered, and the party suspected him of treachery; but soon after, he became himself again and led the party safe to the vicinity of Kaskaskia. |
 | | It is supposed that some one at Fort Massac wanted to destroy a man named Duff, who resided on the bank of the river, and hired these Indians to commit the murder. |
