CHAPTER VI.
When the first French explorers invaded the northwest, about the year 1615,
the Wyandot Indians occupied the territory between Georgian Bay and the
Muskoka Lakes in Ontario. These Frenchmen named the tribe Huron because of the
manner in which they wore their hair.
At this period the Hurons were at war with the Iroquois, and the two tribes
kept up a bitter fight until in 1649, when the Hurons suffered a decisive
defeat. They then abandoned their villages and sought other hunting grounds.

been dead many years. It was possible, however, that some of
his companions in the ----shire might be able to give more

it, the application was a something to look forward to.
Every day at Longbourn was now a day of anxiety; but the most
anxious part of each was when the post was expected. The
arrival of letters was the grand object of every morning's
impatience. Through letters, whatever of good or bad was to be
told would be communicated, and every succeeding day was
expected to bring some news of importance.
