...until they find themselves at an Iroquois…
September 1615 CE
...until they find themselves at an Iroquois fort, probably one belonging to the Onondagas.
Pressured by the Hurons to attack prematurely, the assault fails.
Champlain is wounded twice in the leg by arrows, one in his knee.
The attack lasts three hours until they are forced to flee.
The indecisive Hurons have proven undependable as comrades-in-arms, and the French have provoked the eternal enmity of the powerful Mohawks, the easternmost of the Five Nations.
