To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
259 Mississagas so multiplied in their northern nests, that presently, by mere numbers, they overwhelmed the Iroquois. " The Mississagas, though not endowed with the Mohawk verve or intellect, were no more destitute of poetry than valour. Take the names of some of their chiefs. One chiefs name sis^nified ' He who makes footsteps in the sky ; * another was Wawanosh, * He who ambles the water.* A local Indian mis- sionary was, through his mother, descended from a famous line of poetic warriors ; ...his grandfather was Waubuno, * The Morning Light.' On occasion, the Mississaga could come down to prose. Scugog describes the clay bottom and submerged banks of that lake, which, taking a steamer at Port Perry, we traverse on our summer excursion to Lindsay and Sturgeon Lake. Ohemong aptly names the lake whose tide of silt some- times even retards our canoe when we are fishing or fowling. O^rjemee, * the wild . pigeon,' has given its name, not only to Pigeon Lake and its chief affluent, but to the town where Pigeon Creek lingers on its course to the lake.
