﻿HISTORY 
  OF 
  THE 
  NEW

  IROQUOIS 
  2IO, 
  

  

  and 
  Jean 
  Pierron 
  went 
  to 
  the 
  Mohawks 
  that 
  year 
  ; 
  Father 
  Jacques 
  

   Bruyas 
  accompanied 
  them 
  and 
  proceeded 
  to 
  Oneida. 
  Father 
  

   Julien 
  Gamier 
  soon 
  joined 
  him, 
  but 
  went 
  on 
  to 
  Onondaga, 
  where 
  

   Father 
  Pierre 
  Milet 
  came 
  to 
  him 
  the 
  next 
  year. 
  At 
  the 
  same 
  

   time 
  Father 
  Etienne 
  Carheil 
  resumed 
  the 
  work 
  among 
  the 
  Cay- 
  

   ugas 
  on 
  Cayuga 
  lake. 
  These 
  had 
  now 
  some 
  villages 
  north 
  of 
  

   Lake 
  Ontario, 
  which 
  were 
  safe 
  from 
  the 
  Andastes. 
  The 
  enmity 
  

   between 
  them 
  and 
  that 
  people 
  was 
  great, 
  and 
  that 
  year 
  four 
  

   Andastes 
  women 
  were 
  burned 
  at 
  Oneida 
  alone. 
  

  

  Arent 
  Van 
  Curler 
  (Corlaer) 
  was 
  drowned 
  in 
  1667, 
  while 
  on 
  

   his 
  way 
  to 
  Canada. 
  This 
  occurred 
  in 
  Corlaer's 
  bay, 
  Lake 
  Cham- 
  

   plain, 
  now 
  called 
  the 
  Bay 
  of 
  Perou. 
  There 
  was 
  a 
  great 
  rock 
  

   there, 
  beneath 
  which 
  the 
  Indians 
  thought 
  one 
  of 
  their 
  divinities 
  

   dwelt, 
  and 
  they 
  made 
  offerings 
  in 
  passing. 
  He 
  ridiculed 
  this, 
  

   and 
  the 
  Indians 
  thought 
  his 
  death 
  a 
  retribution 
  for 
  his 
  sarcasm. 
  

   He 
  was 
  a 
  great 
  favorite 
  with 
  the 
  Mohawks, 
  and 
  they 
  called 
  the 
  

   governors 
  of 
  New 
  York 
  after 
  him. 
  

  

  In 
  1668 
  the 
  Wappingers 
  joined 
  the 
  Mohawks 
  against 
  the 
  Mahi- 
  

   cans, 
  300 
  of 
  whom 
  attacked 
  the 
  Mohawk 
  town 
  of 
  Gandaouague' 
  

   Aug. 
  18, 
  1669, 
  but 
  were 
  repulsed 
  with 
  loss. 
  This 
  was 
  the 
  eastern 
  

   castle, 
  on 
  the 
  north 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  river. 
  The 
  invaders 
  were 
  led 
  by 
  

   Chickataubutt, 
  who 
  was 
  killed 
  in 
  the 
  attack. 
  They 
  were 
  pur- 
  

   sued 
  and 
  another 
  battle 
  took 
  place 
  next 
  day, 
  at 
  a 
  place 
  mentioned 
  

   in 
  a 
  grant 
  of 
  July 
  3, 
  1672, 
  as 
  " 
  KINAQUARIONES, 
  Where 
  

   the 
  Last 
  Battel 
  was 
  between 
  the 
  Mohoakx 
  and 
  the 
  North 
  [river] 
  

   Indians/' 
  Of 
  this 
  Gen. 
  J. 
  S. 
  Clark 
  said: 
  

  

  Kinaquariones 
  is 
  the 
  steep 
  rocky 
  hill 
  on 
  the 
  north 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  

   Mohawk 
  river 
  just 
  above 
  Hoffman's 
  Ferry, 
  nine 
  English 
  (equal 
  

   to 
  three 
  Dutch) 
  miles 
  west 
  of 
  Schenectady. 
  It 
  was 
  the 
  western 
  

   bounds 
  of 
  the 
  original 
  Schenectady 
  patent, 
  and 
  now 
  forms 
  the 
  

   southeast 
  corner 
  of 
  the 
  county 
  of 
  Montgomery. 
  The 
  ancient 
  

   aboriginal 
  name 
  is 
  still 
  preserved 
  in 
  the 
  contracted 
  form 
  of 
  

   Towereoune. 
  The 
  palisaded 
  castle 
  Gandaouague', 
  at 
  the 
  date 
  of 
  

   this 
  assault, 
  was 
  on 
  the 
  north 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  Mohawk, 
  on 
  the 
  west 
  

   bank 
  of 
  Cayadutta 
  creek, 
  on 
  a 
  high 
  plateau 
  known 
  locally 
  as 
  the 
  

   Sand 
  Flats. 
  . 
  . 
  This 
  village 
  was 
  for 
  a 
  time 
  the 
  residence 
  of 
  

   Tegakwita, 
  the 
  Iroquois 
  saint, 
  and 
  of 
  the 
  great 
  Kryn, 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  

   most 
  valiant 
  among 
  the 
  many 
  famous 
  Mohawk 
  warriors.
