Note 27 — I Conrad Weiser’s Journal of a Tour to the Ohio August 11-October 2, 1748

The Tisagechroanu were “a numerous Nation to the North of Lake Frontenac; they don’t come by Niagara in their way to Oswego, but right across the Lake.”—Pennsylvania Colonial Records, v, p. 85. Probably they were a party of the Neutral Hurons.

The other edition adds after the Mohawks, “among whom there were 27 French Mohawks.” The Mohicans were a wandering tribe, whose original home was on the banks of the Hudson, and in the Connecticut Valley. Charlevoix found them in the far West in 1721. These on the Ohio were called “Loups” by the French.—Ed.
