CHAPTER II THE IROQUOIANS OF THE SUSQUEHANNA IN the latter part of July, 1608, Captain John Smith sailed from Jamestown, Virginia, on a voyage of discovery. He went in an open barge of less than three tons burden, taking with him twelve men. The vessel entered Chesapeake Bay, and the party spent seven weeks in exploring its shores, returning to Jamestown on the 7th of the following September.

Later, sixty of the Sasquesahanocks came to the discoverers, "with skins, bowes, arrowes, targets [shields], beads, swords, and tobacco pipes for presents. Such great and well proportioned men are seldom seene, for they seemed like Giants to the English, yea, and to the neighbours; yet seemed of an honest and simple disposition, with much adoe restrained from adoring the discoverers as Gods. These are the most strange people of all those Countries, both in language and attire; for their language it may well beseeme their proportions, sounding from them as it were a great voice in a vault, or cave, as an Eccho. Their attire is the skinnes of Beares and Woolves; some have Cassacks made of Beares heads and skinnes, that a man's necke goes through the skinnes neck, and the eares of the beare fastned to his shoulders behind, the nose and teeth hanging downe his breast, and at the end of the nose hung a Beares Pawe: the halfe sleeves coming to the elbowes ...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
