  Fort 
  Brewerton 
  June 
  23 
  and 
  encamping 
  at 
  Three 
  River 
  Point. 
  

   They 
  were 
  at 
  Oswego 
  Falls 
  June 
  24 
  to 
  27, 
  and 
  left 
  Oswego 
  July 
  

   I. 
  The 
  French 
  tried 
  to 
  surprise 
  Oswego 
  after 
  they 
  left, 
  but 
  were 
  

   repulsed. 
  The 
  English 
  had 
  3100 
  troops 
  and 
  Indians, 
  who 
  landed 
  

   at 
  Niagara 
  July 
  8. 
  General 
  Prideaux 
  was 
  killed 
  on 
  the 
  20th 
  and 
  

   Johnson 
  took 
  command. 
  The 
  fort 
  surrendered 
  July 
  25, 
  and 
  the 
  

   army 
  returned 
  to 
  Oswego. 
  About 
  one 
  third 
  were 
  Indians. 
  About 
  

   the 
  same 
  time 
  General 
  Amherst 
  took 
  Ticonderoga 
  and 
  soon 
  after 
  

   Crown 
  Point; 
  while 
  Quebec 
  surrendered 
  Sep. 
  18. 
  

  

  Some 
  unimportant 
  conferences 
  were 
  held 
  at 
  Pittsburg 
  that 
  year, 
  

   in 
  which 
  Iroquois 
  chiefs 
  took 
  part. 
  There 
  was 
  also 
  " 
  a 
  great 
  

   Meeting 
  of 
  Indians 
  at 
  Assensing, 
  on 
  the 
  Cayuga 
  Branch 
  of 
  the 
  

   Sasquehannah," 
  in 
  the 
  interests 
  of 
  peace. 
  This 
  was 
  a 
  Munsey 
  

   town 
  in 
  New 
  r 
  York, 
  recently 
  settled 
  there. 
  This 
  council 
  was 
  

   " 
  preparatory 
  to 
  a 
  General 
  Council, 
  which 
  the 
  Western 
  Indians 
  

   proposed 
  to 
  hold 
  in 
  the 
  month 
  of 
  April 
  over 
  the 
  Ohio." 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  summer 
  of 
  1760 
  Amherst 
  collected 
  his 
  forces 
  at 
  Oswego 
  

   and 
  descended 
  to 
  Montreal, 
  which 
  soon 
  surrendered. 
  The 
  only 
  

   opposition 
  was 
  at 
  Fort 
  Levis, 
  a 
  little 
  below 
  the 
  present 
  city 
  of 
  

   Ogdensburg, 
  occupied 
  by 
  a 
  small 
  force 
  under 
  M. 
  de 
  Pouchot. 
  

   He 
  was 
  called 
  Sategariouaen, 
  In 
  the 
  Midst 
  of 
  Good 
  Affairs. 
  The 
  

   Indians 
  left 
  Oswegatchie 
  the 
  year 
  before, 
  settling 
  on 
  the 
  Isle 
  

   Picquet. 
  Many 
  now 
  went 
  to 
  Montreal 
  and 
  elsewhere, 
  and 
  the 
  

   rest 
  refused 
  to 
  aid 
  the 
  French. 
  There 
  were 
  places 
  of 
  interest 
  in 
  

   the 
  vicinity. 
  Pointe 
  aux 
  Iroquoise, 
  locally 
  called 
  Point 
  Rocka- 
  

   way, 
  was 
  a 
  place 
  where 
  that 
  people 
  always 
  stopped 
  in 
  going 
  up 
  

   or 
  down. 
  Toniata, 
  the 
  place 
  of 
  the 
  eel 
  fishery, 
  now 
  Grenadier 
  

   island, 
  was 
  a 
  noted 
  resort 
  from 
  the 
  earliest 
  times. 
  St 
  Regis, 
  on 
  

   the 
  St 
  Lawrence 
  and 
  intersected 
  by 
  the 
  boundary 
  line, 
  was 
  a 
  

   mission 
  settlement 
  and 
  is 
  still 
  a 
  reservation. 
  It 
  is 
  worthy 
  of 
  note 
  

   that 
  in 
  this 
  last 
  engagement 
  of 
  this 
  great 
  war, 
  two 
  vessels 
  engaged 
  

   were 
  called 
  after 
  Iroquois 
  nations. 
  One 
  was 
  the 
  Onondaga, 
  

   called 
  the 
  Seneca 
  by 
  Pouchot, 
  and 
  the 
  Mohawk, 
  called 
  Oneida 
  

   by 
  him. 
  

  

  A 
  list 
  has 
  been 
  given 
  of 
  1330 
  Indians 
  who 
  promised 
  to 
  go 
  with 
  

   Johnson 
  at 
  this 
  time. 
  Among 
  these 
  were 
  284 
  Cayugas, 
  57 
  Tusca-
