﻿HISTORY 
  OF 
  THE 
  NEW 
  YORK 
  IROQUOIS 
  233 
  

  

  being 
  killed 
  in 
  this 
  campaign. 
  Kryn, 
  the 
  Great 
  Mohawk, 
  was 
  

   with 
  them. 
  Most 
  of 
  these 
  Iroquois 
  would 
  not 
  fight 
  against 
  their 
  

   eastern 
  kindred, 
  but 
  had 
  no 
  scruples 
  about 
  the 
  distant 
  Senecas. 
  

  

  De 
  Nonville 
  landed 
  at 
  Irondequoit 
  bay 
  and 
  finished 
  a 
  large 
  

   fort 
  there, 
  July 
  12, 
  1687, 
  leaving 
  a 
  guard 
  of 
  440 
  men. 
  On 
  the 
  

   13th 
  the 
  army 
  marched 
  toward 
  the 
  Seneca 
  towns, 
  with 
  an 
  Ottawa 
  

   reinforcement. 
  Two 
  defiles 
  were 
  safely 
  passed, 
  but 
  in 
  the 
  third, 
  

   near 
  the 
  present 
  village 
  of 
  Victor, 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  army 
  was 
  sur- 
  

   prised 
  by 
  800 
  Senecas. 
  Both 
  sides 
  had 
  considerable 
  loss, 
  but 
  

   the 
  Senecas 
  left 
  the 
  field 
  and 
  abandoned 
  their 
  towns. 
  The 
  Can- 
  

   adian 
  Iroquois 
  fought 
  well 
  in 
  this 
  engagement, 
  but 
  the 
  western 
  

   Indians 
  not 
  only 
  showed 
  cowardice 
  but 
  feasted 
  on 
  their 
  dead 
  

   enemies. 
  

  

  Next 
  day 
  a 
  large 
  village 
  was 
  entered, 
  most 
  of 
  which 
  had 
  been 
  

  

  burned, 
  and 
  others 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  condition 
  were 
  visited 
  afterward. 
  

  

  Formal 
  possession 
  was 
  taken 
  of 
  four 
  towns 
  and 
  one 
  small 
  fort. 
  

  

  These 
  were 
  Totiakton, 
  Gannagaro, 
  Gannondata, 
  and 
  Gannon- 
  

  

  garae, 
  with 
  the 
  small 
  fort. 
  Mr 
  O. 
  H. 
  Marshall 
  published 
  maps 
  

  

  of 
  the 
  march, 
  and 
  the 
  town 
  sites 
  are 
  well 
  identified. 
  De 
  Nonville 
  

  

  took 
  possession 
  of 
  the 
  villages 
  and 
  also 
  

  

  All 
  the 
  lands 
  in 
  their 
  vicinity 
  as 
  many 
  and 
  how 
  far 
  soever 
  

   they 
  may 
  extend, 
  conquered 
  in 
  His 
  Majesty's 
  name, 
  and 
  to 
  that 
  

   end 
  has 
  planted 
  in 
  all 
  the 
  said 
  Villages 
  and 
  Forts 
  His 
  said 
  

   Majesty's 
  Arms, 
  and 
  has 
  caused 
  to 
  be 
  proclaimed 
  in 
  loud 
  voice, 
  

   Vive 
  le 
  Rot. 
  

  

  A 
  vast 
  quantity 
  of 
  grain 
  was 
  destroyed, 
  with 
  many 
  hogs. 
  On 
  

   the 
  return 
  the 
  stockade 
  was 
  burned, 
  and 
  the 
  army 
  went 
  on 
  to 
  

   Niagara. 
  There 
  a 
  fort 
  was 
  built, 
  garrisoned 
  by 
  100 
  men, 
  which 
  

   was 
  abandoned 
  the 
  next 
  year. 
  The 
  army 
  returned 
  by 
  the 
  north 
  

   shore 
  of 
  the 
  lake, 
  usually 
  thought 
  safest, 
  but 
  the 
  south 
  shore 
  

   had 
  been 
  followed 
  in 
  g'oing, 
  as 
  all 
  the 
  Iroquois 
  villages 
  were 
  

   thus 
  threatened. 
  

  

  These 
  things 
  alarmed 
  the 
  Iroquois, 
  and 
  the 
  Onondagas 
  wanted 
  

   cannon 
  for 
  their 
  fort; 
  but 
  the 
  English 
  thought 
  these 
  useless, 
  

   and 
  they 
  were 
  not 
  furnished. 
  In 
  November 
  the 
  English 
  king 
  

   formally 
  received 
  the 
  Iroquois 
  as 
  his 
  subjects, 
  and 
  hostilities 
  

   against 
  them 
  were 
  forbidden. 
  They 
  probably 
  thought 
  this 
  a
