Yonnondio, Or Warriors of the Genesee: Tale of the Seventeenth Century (Classic Reprint)FB&C Limited, 2018 M01 29 - 242 páginas Excerpt from Yonnondio, or Warriors of the Genesee: Tale of the Seventeenth Century The clamor of contending parties in a great political contest, I am aware, is well calculated to drown the low undertone of a poet's lute but the same cause, by distracting the attention of criticism, may render the voice of censure less harsh and loud. The Poem is descriptive of events that transpired in the valley of the Genesee, during the summer and autumn of 1687 - of the memorable attempt of the Marquis De Nonville, under pretext of preventing an interruption of the French trade, to plant the standard of Louis XIV. In the beautiful country of the Senecas, Impartial history has convicted the Marquis of an open infraction of the treaty made at Whitehall, in the previous year, between Great Britain and France, by which it was settled that the Indian trade in America should remain free to both crowns.
