Lawrence and had free access to Ontario, the journey thither was long and perilous, and Indian goods could be purchased in Albany and transported to Montreal at a less rate than they could be imported direct to that place from France, ' while the trails of the Iroquois, which could be traveled from Albany to Irondequoit on horseback, and the watercourses of the interior of New York presented shorter, safer and more profitable routes for unrestricted traffic ; hence the desire of the English to ...open the way to the west, ami the endeavors of the French to obtain possession of Oswego, Iron- dequoit and Niagara, close them to the English and secure the Indian trade to the French colony of the St. Lawrence. Added to this was the natural en- mity existing between the two nations and the jealous rivalry and inordinate greed for territorial possessions in the New world. Each nation claimed the Iroquois country, France by right of first discovery and occupation, England by virtue of conquest from the Dutch and treat}- stipulations, and both enacted the monarchical role of paternal proprietorship, endeavoring to awe and con- trol the various tribes by alternate threatenings and persuasion.
