Samuel
de Champlain helps fight off Indian forces as they attack the
Iroquois stronghold of Ticonderoga. Originally printed in the
Voyages du Sieur de Champlain by Iean Berjou, Paris, in
1613, the image illustrates how powerful tribes utilized the
early colonists as allies in their own long-established rivalries,
and how quickly the local Indians appreciated the advantages
of European technology.
From
Ernst and Johanna Lehner, How They Saw the New World,
New York: Tudor Publishing Company, 1966.
