  The 
  wife 
  of 
  Kryn. 
  often 
  called 
  the 
  Great 
  Mohawk, 
  became 
  a 
  

   Christian, 
  and 
  he 
  was 
  indignant. 
  While 
  hunting, 
  he 
  came 
  to 
  

   La 
  Prairie, 
  and 
  its 
  peace 
  and 
  order 
  impressed 
  him 
  much. 
  He 
  

   became 
  an 
  inquirer 
  and 
  convert, 
  and 
  at 
  last 
  brought 
  a 
  band 
  of 
  

   his 
  people 
  there 
  in 
  1674: 
  reaching 
  there 
  with 
  another 
  party 
  on 
  

   Easter 
  Sunday 
  1676. 
  The 
  next 
  year 
  he 
  was 
  followed 
  by 
  Catha- 
  

   rine 
  Tegahkwita, 
  the 
  Iroquois 
  saint, 
  who 
  died 
  there 
  in 
  1680, 
  and 
  

   who 
  is 
  still 
  in 
  high 
  repute 
  for 
  her 
  virtues 
  and 
  austerity 
  of 
  life. 
  

   In 
  reporting 
  his 
  action 
  on 
  the 
  treaty 
  of 
  1677. 
  Andros 
  wrote 
  : 
  

  

  The

  Governor

  This 
  was 
  the 
  famous

  of

  Greenhalgh 
  "

  Its 
  object 
  does 
  not 
  appear 
  in 
  the 
  

   journal, 
  nor 
  is 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  his 
  companion 
  mentioned. 
  They 
  

   went 
  on 
  horseback. 
  The 
  Mohawks 
  then 
  had 
  four 
  fortified 
  towns 
  

   and 
  one 
  small 
  village. 
  The 
  towns 
  were 
  Cahaniaga. 
  Canagora. 
  

   Canajorha 
  and 
  Tionondague. 
  In 
  these 
  were 
  about 
  300 
  warriors, 
  

   occupying 
  100 
  houses. 
  

  

  The 
  Oneidas 
  had 
  a 
  town 
  20 
  (2 
  ? 
  1 
  miles 
  from 
  Oneida 
  creek. 
  In 
  

   this 
  fort 
  were 
  100 
  houses 
  and 
  200 
  warriors. 
  The 
  Onondagas 
  had 
  

   one 
  large 
  unwalled 
  town 
  of 
  140 
  houses 
  and 
  a 
  village 
  of 
  24 
  cabins 
  

   2 
  miles 
  away. 
  The 
  warriors 
  numbered 
  350. 
  Three 
  unwalled 
  

   Cayuga 
  towns 
  had 
  100 
  houses 
  and 
  300 
  warriors. 
  The 
  Senecas 
  

   had 
  four 
  unwalled 
  towns, 
  with 
  324 
  houses 
  and 
  1000 
  warriors. 
  

   The 
  towns 
  were 
  Canagora, 
  Tiotohatton, 
  Canoenada 
  and 
  Keinthe: 
  

   but 
  other 
  writers 
  give 
  different 
  names. 
  

  

  About 
  this 
  time 
  came 
  changes 
  in 
  the 
  Iroquois 
  missions 
  in 
  

   Canada. 
  The 
  Cayuga 
  villages 
  near 
  the 
  Bay 
  of 
  Ouinte 
  had 
  most 
  

   of 
  their 
  mission 
  work 
  transferred 
  to 
  the 
  island 
  of 
  Montreal 
  in 
  

   1676. 
  Some 
  Iroquois 
  came 
  from 
  Xew 
  York 
  and 
  some 
  from 
  

   Caughnawaga. 
  forming 
  the 
  Mission 
  of 
  the 
  Mountain 
  the 
  same 
  

   vear. 
  and 
  some 
  Senecas 
  arrived 
  later.
