To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here the boats were concealed, and the invaders proceeded thence by land into the heart of the Iroquois country, where a battle was fought and the allied French and Indian forces were defeated. On the retreat the former route of travel was pursued (reversed), Champlain being wounded and carried by his companions. It is fair to assume, how- ever, that the so-called Indian wharf was not built until a more recent period than the time of the Champlain invasion, and not until about or after De la Ba...rre's time and visit to the soil of our county. This was in 1684, but the present writer has no theory regarding the erection of this peculiar structure. The date of the construction of the old fort on Six Town Point is also uncertain, but it was so manifestly of French origin that its erec- tion must be traced to some period of the prolong-ed French and Eng- lish wars, and probably between De la Barre's time and the year 1760. De la Barre re- established the port at Kingston in 1684, and imme- diately afterward the French waged aggressive warfare against the English and Iroquois.
