   • 1759, Benjamin Martin, Miscellaneous Correspondence, containing a Variety of Subjects:
     As there is lately arrived from America a Mohawk Indian Warrior, one of General J ohnson's Guards who had distinguished himself at the Battle of Lake George, (where General Johnson beat the French) by his singular Valour in taking the French General, Monsieur Desseau, Prisoner ; and as the above-named Indian Warrior (for the Gratification of the Curious) is expos'd to public View, dress'd in the same Manner with his native Indians when they go to War, with his Face and Body painted, his Scalping-knife, and Tomax, or Battle-axe, and all the other Implements that are used by Indians in Battle, we imagine a Copper-plate Print of this extraordianry Person will be agreeable.
   • 1824, John Rodgers Jewitt & Richard Alsop, The Adventures and Sufferings of John R. Jewitt, page 24:
     With this view, we immediately set about getting our water casks in readiness, and the next and two succeeding days, part of the crew were sent on shore to cut pine timber, and asist the carpenter in making it into yards and spars for the ship, while those on board were employed in refitting the rigging, repairing the sails, &c. when we proceeded to take in our wood and water as expeditiously as possible, during which time I kept myself busily employed in repairing the muskets, making knives, tomaxes, &c. and doing such iron work as was wanted for the ship.
