Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Westbrook, Capt. John Penhallow, John Schuyler, Gov. Wm. Burnet,

trials, French and Indian attacks, Jesuit influence upon the
Indians, fisheries and fur trade, construction of fortifications,

chronologically arranged, allowing the reader to follow events in
an orderly manner, and augmented by an index of full-names,
