Excerpt from Iroquois Past and PresentHouse, ' and the Senecas the western, for by this figure the Iroquois Indian describes the league by which the five nations are knitted together and enabled to maintain their prowess over sur rounding tribes. Their Long House extends from the majestic Hudson to the blue waters of the lake named for the Erie nation, and from the Catskill range to the broad St. Lawrence, up which have come the Sieur de la Salle and his fellow voyageurs on their perilous journey westward to unknown and perchance hostile regions. The vast territory between, the Ho-de~no-sau-ne, or People of the Long House, the Cabin-builders, hold as their hunting grounds, and here and there in the midst of the forest, through which run their nar row but well trodden trails, one comes across the stockaded villages, within which are their bark houses, constructed after a fashion peculiar to these strange and interesting people.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
