Synopsis

With the French undercutting the Dutch fur trade, van den Bogaert and his party set off on a mission of investigation and negotiation. Despite the harsh winter they travel to numerous towns and villages in Iroquois-ruled country, now upstate New York. They meet a generally friendly reception, and learn much of Iroquois life, but the Mohawks and Oneidas make numerous demonstrations of strength, and negotiate to their own best advantage.

Synopsis

In negotiations with Arenias and with the Onnedaeges, the Dutch party comes to a mutually advantageous agreement.

The way back to Fort Orange is harsh in the winter weather, but Arenias and his people guide them through.

Harmen Meyndertsz van den Bogaert

Synopsis

Van den Bogaert writes disparagingly of the Iroquois enthusiasm for fetishes, not recognizing that he is clutching a cross as he writes.
