Book Description
Excerpt from History and General Description of New France, Vol. 4 of 6 They had as chief Kondiaronk, better known in our Relations under the name of the Rat, a man of ability, extremely brave, and the Indian of the highest merit that the French ever knew in Canada. It had cost Mr. De Denonville no little pains to draw him to our interests but he had miscalculated, if he thought to dispose of this new ally at his pleasure. The Rat having pledged his word to make active war on the Iroquois, started from Michillimackinac with a picked band of Hurons, bent on distinguishing himself by some brilliant achievement.2 He took Catarocouy on his road, and on arriving there learned that they were negotiating a settlement with the cantons; that the treaty was well advanced, and that the Governor General was expecting at Montreal ambassadors and hos tages in the name of the whole Iroquois nation. The commandant at Catarocouy added that the best thing he could do under such circumstances was to return home with his warriors, and that he would give boundless offence to Mr. De Denonville, if he committed the least hostility against the Iroquois.
