Indeed, Ferguson was a gentleman. He once had an opportunity to kill Gen. Washington from ambush using his famous rifle, but his conscience forebade it and he spared Washingtons life. A noble adversary, surely. I was just reading about Daniel Morgan, and found out that the British at the time considered targeting an individual, especially an officer to be unsporting. Rumors were Morgan wanted his troops to target individuals, and so the British considered him a war criminal.
