Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Papers Relating to De Courcelles' and De Tracy's Expeditions Against the Mohawk Indians: Anno 1665-6
The plan entertained at this first campaign was to erect on the route some forts, which were considered absolutely necessary as well to secure the passage and liberty of trade as to serve for stores for the troops and retreats for sick and wounded sol diers. For this purpose three advantageous posts were selected. The first at the mouth of the Iroquois River; the second seven teen' leagues higher up, at the foot of a current of water called the Sault de Richelieu; the third about three leagues above this current.
