﻿HISTORY 
  OF 
  THE 
  NEW 
  YORK 
  IROQUOIS 
  2\J 
  

  

  of 
  Carignan-Salieres 
  came 
  from 
  Hungary, 
  with 
  laurels 
  won 
  from 
  

   the 
  Turks, 
  and 
  was 
  now 
  to 
  oppose 
  the 
  Iroquois. 
  Part 
  was 
  to 
  

   protect 
  the 
  harvesters 
  and 
  the 
  rest 
  built 
  the 
  forts. 
  The 
  Iroquois 
  

   were 
  at 
  first 
  alarmed, 
  but 
  soon 
  recovered 
  and 
  used 
  other 
  roads. 
  

   An 
  embassy 
  led 
  by 
  Garakontie' 
  came 
  to 
  Canada 
  in 
  October 
  and 
  

   another 
  in 
  December. 
  At 
  the 
  latter 
  all 
  but 
  the 
  Mohawks 
  made 
  

   a 
  treaty 
  of 
  peace, 
  signed 
  by 
  the 
  Bear, 
  Wolf 
  and 
  Turtle 
  clans. 
  

   They 
  desired 
  priests 
  and 
  settlers, 
  and 
  mourned 
  Father 
  Le 
  Moyne, 
  

   who 
  died 
  Nov. 
  24. 
  

  

  Governor 
  de 
  Courcelle 
  went 
  against 
  the 
  Mohawks 
  Jan. 
  9, 
  1666, 
  

   with 
  500 
  men, 
  arriving 
  in 
  their 
  country, 
  Feb. 
  9, 
  much 
  exhausted. 
  

   He 
  learned 
  that 
  most 
  of 
  the 
  Mohawks 
  and 
  Oneidas 
  had 
  gone 
  to 
  

   war 
  with 
  the 
  Wampum-makers, 
  leaving 
  only 
  old 
  people 
  and 
  chil- 
  

   dren 
  at 
  home, 
  and 
  even 
  these 
  he 
  was 
  in 
  no 
  condition 
  to 
  attack, 
  

   but 
  lost 
  some 
  men 
  in 
  a 
  Mohawk 
  ambuscade. 
  He 
  got 
  provisions 
  of 
  

   the 
  Dutch 
  and 
  at 
  once 
  returned, 
  losing 
  more 
  men 
  on 
  the 
  way. 
  

   The 
  Iroquois 
  were 
  alarmed, 
  not 
  having 
  thought 
  invasion 
  possible, 
  

   and 
  in 
  May 
  the 
  Senecas 
  came 
  and 
  made 
  peace, 
  being 
  soon 
  fol- 
  

   lowed 
  by 
  the 
  rest. 
  There 
  were 
  hostilities 
  after 
  this, 
  and 
  Captain 
  

   de 
  Sorel 
  went 
  with 
  300 
  men 
  against 
  the 
  Mohawks, 
  but 
  met 
  their 
  

   ambassadors 
  coming 
  to 
  make 
  amends. 
  The 
  trouble 
  was 
  this. 
  

   Some 
  Oneida 
  deputies 
  went 
  to 
  Canada 
  in 
  June 
  1666, 
  returning 
  

   with 
  Father 
  Beschefer 
  and 
  two 
  Frenchmen, 
  to 
  induce 
  the 
  Mo- 
  

   hawks 
  and 
  Oneidas 
  to 
  send 
  deputies 
  to 
  a 
  general 
  council. 
  Hardly 
  

   had 
  they 
  gone 
  before 
  news 
  came 
  that 
  the 
  Mohawks 
  had 
  killed 
  

   some 
  French 
  hunters 
  and 
  made 
  others 
  prisoners, 
  Captain 
  de 
  

   Traversy 
  and 
  Sieur 
  de 
  Chasy 
  being 
  killed. 
  The 
  French 
  were 
  at 
  

   once 
  recalled 
  and 
  the 
  Oneidas 
  seized. 
  

  

  Charlevoix 
  adds 
  that 
  De 
  Sorel, 
  on 
  his 
  way 
  to 
  the 
  Mohawk 
  

   towns, 
  met 
  a 
  party 
  led 
  by 
  the 
  Dutch 
  Bastard, 
  but 
  of 
  inferior 
  

   force. 
  The 
  latter 
  pretended 
  he 
  was 
  on 
  a 
  peace 
  embassy 
  and 
  was 
  

   taken 
  to 
  De 
  Tracy 
  and 
  well 
  received. 
  Agariata, 
  another 
  Mo- 
  

   hawk 
  chief, 
  came 
  afterward 
  and 
  said 
  he 
  was 
  a 
  deputy, 
  At 
  De 
  

   Tracy's 
  table 
  

  

  The 
  conversation 
  turning 
  on 
  the 
  death 
  of 
  M. 
  de 
  Chasy, 
  the 
  

   Mohawk 
  chief, 
  raising 
  his 
  arm, 
  exclaimed 
  : 
  " 
  This 
  is 
  the 
  arm 
  that 
  

   tomahawked 
  that 
  young 
  officer." 
  The 
  indignation 
  of 
  all 
  present
