  Lahontan's 
  view 
  of 
  De 
  la 
  Barre's 
  council 
  at 
  La 
  Famine 
  (Salmon 
  River 
  

   N. 
  Y.) 
  September 
  1684. 
  An 
  Onondaga 
  chief 
  is 
  speaking, 
  who 
  is 
  the 
  famous 
  

   orator 
  usually 
  called 
  Garangula. 
  The 
  spot 
  is 
  at 
  the 
  mouth 
  of 
  Salmon 
  river 
  

   in 
  Oswego 
  county, 
  on 
  the 
  north 
  side, 
  and 
  represents 
  fairly 
  well 
  the 
  con- 
  

   ditions 
  of 
  the 
  picture. 
  The 
  place 
  received 
  its 
  name 
  in 
  1656 
  from 
  the 
  famished 
  

   condition 
  of 
  the 
  French 
  colonists 
  when 
  they 
  reached 
  it. 
  It 
  had 
  been 
  intended 
  

   for 
  their 
  habitation 
  but 
  the 
  plan 
  was 
  changed. 
  As 
  a 
  landing 
  place 
  on 
  Lake 
  

   Ontario 
  it 
  had 
  long 
  been 
  a 
  notable 
  place 
  of 
  resort, 
  and 
  was 
  the 
  terminus 
  

   of 
  the 
  beaver 
  land 
  trust 
  deed. 
  A 
  fine 
  picture 
  of 
  this 
  council 
  adorns 
  the 
  

   Flower 
  Memorial 
  Library 
  building 
  in 
  Watertown, 
  in 
  which 
  Lahontan's 
  plan 
  

   is 
  followed 
  in 
  a 
  general 
  way. 
  This 
  was 
  the 
  Great 
  La 
  Famine 
  river. 
  A 
  

   smaller 
  stream 
  farther 
  west 
  had 
  the 
  prefix 
  of 
  little.
