  there, 
  and 
  he 
  remained 
  during 
  his 
  Iroquois 
  expedition. 
  The 
  fol- 
  

   lowing 
  winter 
  he 
  visited 
  the 
  Petuns, 
  or 
  Tionontaties. 
  He 
  was 
  a 
  

   Recollect 
  and 
  returned 
  to 
  Quebec 
  with 
  Champlain 
  in 
  1616. 
  

   Father 
  William 
  Poulain, 
  another 
  Recollect, 
  was 
  a 
  prisoner 
  to 
  

   the 
  Iroquois 
  for 
  a 
  short 
  time 
  in 
  162 
  1, 
  but 
  was 
  exchanged. 
  He 
  

   took 
  the 
  opportunity 
  of 
  teaching 
  some 
  Iroquois 
  prisoners, 
  taken 
  

   by 
  his 
  friends, 
  hoping 
  some 
  day 
  to 
  visit 
  them, 
  and 
  made 
  a 
  brief 
  

   visit 
  to 
  the 
  Hurons 
  in 
  1622. 
  In 
  1623 
  Father 
  Nicholas 
  Viel 
  and 
  

   Le 
  Caron, 
  with 
  Brother 
  Gabriel 
  Sagard, 
  were 
  there 
  for 
  a 
  few 
  

   months, 
  Viel 
  remaining 
  for 
  nearly 
  two 
  years. 
  De 
  la 
  Roche 
  

   Daillon, 
  another 
  Recollect, 
  was 
  there 
  in 
  1626, 
  going 
  thence 
  to 
  the 
  

   Neutral 
  nation, 
  of 
  whom 
  he 
  gave 
  many 
  particulars. 
  He 
  was 
  

   the 
  companion 
  of 
  Father 
  Jean 
  de 
  Brebeuf 
  and 
  of 
  Father 
  Anne 
  

   de 
  Nouvee, 
  the 
  Jesuits, 
  when 
  they 
  went 
  to 
  the 
  Hurons 
  that 
  year. 
  

   In 
  1628 
  Brebeuf 
  was 
  there 
  alone, 
  and 
  was 
  ordered 
  to 
  Quebec 
  in 
  

   1629. 
  The 
  English 
  occupation 
  hindered 
  missionary 
  work, 
  but 
  

   linguistic 
  studies 
  were 
  maintained. 
  Brebeuf, 
  Daniel 
  and 
  Davost 
  

   went 
  to 
  the 
  Hurons 
  in 
  1634. 
  After 
  this 
  we 
  have 
  those 
  graphic 
  

   and 
  thrilling 
  relations 
  of 
  missionary 
  experience 
  among 
  savages, 
  

   which 
  have 
  stirred 
  the 
  hearts 
  of 
  men 
  ever 
  since 
  and 
  have 
  yielded 
  

   such 
  treasures 
  to 
  the 
  student 
  of 
  aboriginal 
  life. 
  Without 
  fol- 
  

   lowing 
  this 
  work 
  in 
  detail 
  among 
  a 
  people 
  lying' 
  outside 
  our 
  

   borders, 
  it 
  seems 
  proper 
  to 
  give 
  this 
  brief 
  introduction 
  to 
  what 
  

   at 
  last 
  became 
  an 
  important 
  factor 
  in 
  New 
  York 
  history. 
  

  

  Daillon 
  went 
  to 
  the 
  Neutrals 
  in 
  October 
  1626, 
  and 
  may 
  have 
  

   visited 
  New 
  York. 
  He 
  was 
  at 
  a 
  village 
  called 
  Ounontisaston, 
  

   when 
  " 
  ten 
  men 
  of 
  the 
  last 
  village, 
  called 
  Ouaroronon, 
  one 
  day's 
  

   journey 
  from 
  the 
  Iroquois, 
  their 
  relatives 
  and 
  friends," 
  called 
  

   and 
  invited 
  him 
  there. 
  They 
  went 
  off, 
  but 
  returned 
  and 
  plun- 
  

   dered 
  him. 
  This 
  seems 
  to 
  refer 
  to 
  the 
  Ouenrohronon, 
  A 
  Separate 
  

   People, 
  rather 
  than 
  town, 
  who 
  afterward 
  fled 
  to 
  the 
  Hurons. 
  

  

  With 
  the 
  expulsion 
  of 
  the 
  Mahicans 
  and 
  the 
  sale 
  of 
  their 
  lands 
  

   the 
  Iroquois 
  trade 
  had 
  a 
  new 
  impetus. 
  The 
  Dutch 
  had 
  learned 
  

   to 
  make 
  wampum 
  by 
  improved 
  methods, 
  having 
  used 
  it 
  from 
  the 
  

   first, 
  and 
  the 
  Iroquois 
  bought 
  large 
  quantities. 
  They 
  sold 
  guns 
  

   at 
  a 
  great 
  profit, 
  for 
  the 
  Mohawks 
  were 
  greedy 
  of 
  these 
  and
