Some Of Them Set Fire
To
The Buildings Of

It That

The Printing Office
Used
For Publishing Official Documents
As Well
As Newspapers

The Pretext That Their Absent Owners Were Militia Who Had Not Given Their Parole
As Required By
The Articles Of Capitulation
The Homes Of Canadians Connected With

In Spite Of Pike's Earlier Orders That Outlined All Civilian Property Be Respected
With Any Soldier Convicted Of Such Transgressions Be Executed. Dearborn Similarly Emphatically Denied Giving Orders
For Any Buildings
To Be Destroyed
And Deplored
The Worst Of
The Atrocities
In His Letters
But He Was Nonetheless Unable Or Unwilling
To Rein
In His Soldiers
Dearborn Himself Was Embarrassed By
The Looting
As
It Made
A Mockery Of
The Terms Of Surrender He Arranged
His Soldiers' Disregard For
The Terms He Arranged
And Local Civil Leaders' Continued Protest Against Them
Made Dearborn Eager
To Leave York
As Soon
As All
The Captured Stores Were Transported
