Excerpt from Historic Caughnawaga
Here are few spots in America that recall more vivid historic memories than the old village of Caughnawaga lying peacefully on the south shore of the St. Lawrence, ten or twelve miles west of the city of Montreal. Its proximity to the great Canadian metropolis has not robbed this quaint Indian village of its aboriginal atmosphere; nor has intercourse with white neighbours deprived its citizens of many of their ancient racial traits. Angular features. Piercing black eyes, the guttural accents of the native language, the swarthy bronze complexions in evidence everywhere-all betoken the survival of a remnant of the once doughty Iroquois, who for nearly a hun dred years spread terror and desolation among the early European settlers on this continent.
