[1756]

1 online resource (2 volumes)

There are two versions of Captain Newcastle's report, but the information is the same in each. In the second version, the pages are in reverse order. The Governor had sent Captain Newcastle to the Six Nations to learn about the character of Teedyusung. Newcastle was able to speak to a Mohawk, Canyase, who said he had spoken to Teedyusung earlier, admonishing him and his people for attacking the English. He said Teedyusung did not have negotiating authority. He pleaded poverty, but was willing to come to Pennsylvania to speak to the Delaware again. Newcastle spoke to a Seneca chief who was off to war, but that person wanted to come to meet the new Governor once the battle was over. He said the New York Indians were disenchanted with William Johnson.
