  Champlain's 
  attack 
  on 
  an 
  Iroquois 
  fort, 
  October 
  1615. 
  The 
  fort 
  extended 
  

   into 
  the 
  shallow 
  pond 
  where 
  canoes 
  could 
  not 
  be 
  used. 
  The 
  spot 
  was 
  satis- 
  

   fatorily 
  identified 
  by 
  Gen. 
  John 
  S. 
  Clark 
  of 
  Auburn, 
  many 
  years 
  ago, 
  and 
  

   is 
  in 
  the 
  Oneida 
  territory 
  about 
  3 
  miles 
  east 
  of 
  Perryville. 
  It 
  was 
  probably 
  

   soon 
  abandoned 
  for 
  a 
  stronger 
  position 
  nor 
  does 
  it 
  seem 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  long 
  

   occupied, 
  but 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  open 
  caches 
  may 
  be 
  seen 
  on 
  the 
  higher 
  lands 
  not 
  

   far 
  off. 
  A 
  careful 
  plan 
  of 
  the 
  place 
  may 
  be 
  seen 
  in 
  the 
  bulletin 
  on 
  tht 
  

   Aboriginal 
  Occupation 
  of 
  New 
  York. 
  In 
  the 
  picture 
  much 
  must 
  be 
  allowed 
  

   for 
  the 
  fancy 
  of 
  the 
  artist.
