Halaman 284 - Indented Bill of Ten Shillings, due from the Massachusetts Colony to the Possessor, shall be in value equal to Money, and shall be accordingly accepted by the Treasurer and Receivers subordinate to him in all Publick Payments, and for any Stock at any time in the Treasury Boston in New England, December the 10* 1690. By Order of the General Court.
Halaman 108 - Yonnondio, our women had taken their clubs, our children and old men had carried their bows and arrows into the heart of your camp if our warriors had not disarmed them and kept them back, when your messenger, Ohguesse, came to our castles. It is...
Halaman 106 - the warriors of the Five Nations have introduced the English into the lakes which belong to the king my master, and among the tribes who are his children, in order to destroy the trade of his subjects, and seduce these people from the obedience they owe him. I am willing to forget this ; but, should it happen again, I am expressly ordered to declare war against you.
Halaman 20 - Your assembling of the inhabitants to take the oath of fidelity, and your division of them into three estates, may have had a good effect for the moment ; but it is well for you to observe that you are always to follow, in the government of Canada, the forms in use here ; and since our kings have long regarded it as good for their service not to convoke the...
Halaman 233 - He told Frontenac of the pledge given by his conqueror, and the violation of it. " We were promised good quarter," he reports himself to have said. " and a guard to conduct us to our English ; but now we are made captives and slaves in the hands of the heathen.

Whereupon the governour shaked his head, and, as I was told, was very angry with Burniffe [Portneuf].
Halaman 436 - ... barbarity of the warfare that he waged, and the cruelties that he permitted. He had seen too many towns sacked to be much subject to the scruples of modern humanitarianism ; yet he was no whit more ruthless than his times and his surroundings, and some of his contemporaries find fault with him for not allowing more Indian captives to be tortured. Many surpassed him in cruelty, none equalled him in capacity and vigor.
Halaman 377 - ... temperance, conjugal fidelity, devotion to the rites of their religion, and submission to the priest ; but they left the savage a savage still. In spite of the remonstrances of the civil authorities, the mission Indian was separated as far as possible from intercourse with the French, and discouraged from learning the French tongue. He wore a crucifix, hung wampum on the shrine of the Virgin, told his beads, prayed three times a day, knelt for hours before the Host, invoked the saints, and confessed...
Halaman 58 - What has passed in regard to the coureurs de bois is entirely contrary to my orders, and I cannot receive in excuse for it your allegation that it is the Intendant who countenances them by the trade he carries on, for I perceive clearly that the fault is your own. As I see that you often turn the orders...
Halaman 450 - Must I,' exclaimed one of their great warriors, as he fell wounded among a crowd of Algonquins, — 'must I, who have made the whole earth tremble, now die by the hands of children?' Their power kept pace with their pride. Their war-parties roamed over half America, and their name was a terror from the Atlantic to the Mississippi ; but, when we ask the numerical strength of the dreaded confederacy, when we discover that, in the days of their greatest triumphs...
