  PLATE 
  ii 
  

  

  Champlain's 
  sketch 
  of 
  the 
  battle 
  near 
  Ticonderoga, 
  July 
  30, 
  1609. 
  The 
  

   letters 
  refer 
  to 
  his 
  key. 
  The 
  view 
  places 
  the 
  Iroquois* 
  north 
  of 
  his 
  party, 
  

   and 
  has 
  but 
  a 
  moderate 
  value, 
  though 
  something 
  may 
  be 
  learned 
  from 
  it. 
  

   One 
  Iroquois 
  shield 
  appears, 
  but 
  no 
  other 
  defensive 
  armor. 
  Most 
  draw 
  

   the 
  bow 
  with 
  the 
  right 
  hand, 
  but 
  some 
  with 
  the 
  left. 
  The 
  canoes 
  are 
  by 
  

   no 
  means 
  typical 
  and 
  the 
  less 
  said 
  about 
  perspective 
  the 
  better. 
  The 
  picture 
  

   appeared 
  in 
  the 
  edition 
  of 
  1613

  this 
  key.
