The Mohawk Valley

By J. Marguerite Porter 7545 University Avenue La Mesa, Calif. (Continued from last week)

Nichols' story of Percival Brooder tells of an annual musi- cal ritual held in the "Hills of God" in the Ilon Gulf. Here we constructed annually & temple of a number of white pillans It was to give the ceremony an air of sacredness The members of the sect of Peter Jones and Percival Brooder would pass in informal procession singing hymns and songs of the day to the apot where the temple was erected.

Peter Jones, pastor of the Lit- tie Reformed church 'near Sche- nectady, brother of Mary Jones Brooder, believed to have in his possession the Holy Grail from which the Sacrament was admin- istered at the Last Supper. His nephew, Percival, was chosen to go out into the world and seek the way to salvation. When he returned several years later, he raised the cup at the Harvest Fes- tival in the gulf, and the sign which they had long hoped for was given: a beam of light fell upon the contents of the cup, the blood of a newly killed lamb, and rested there for sixty seconds. This was believed to be the extra- ordinary recognition which they sought. Soon afterwards the Brooders, Peter Jones, and their. followers, with the cup in their possession set sail to an unknown pont and were never heard .of again.

James Fenimore Cooper, the

, "American Sent+" wrog tha Myot

Mohawk" is that which tells of the appearance of a party of the

soldiers with their black caps and leather gaiters, a few scattered remains of the old Highland guard of Fort Johnson, dark limber men, wearing tartan kilts and knee- length leggings of deerskin and carrying long barreled, smooth- bore rifles and Indian war clubs. They came down the trail with the long loose stride of woodsmen, their tread light on the ground, but their voices were upnaised in talk as if there were no other living thing in all the woods. They shouted back and forth, calling each other's names, lifting the fresh scalps from their belts- and those that had them- roaring to know whether the bounty still held at eight dollars in Niagara." Other incidents of historical importance in the Mohawk Valley during the war are recounted by Edmonds in this novel. The Battle of Oriskany, besieging of Fort Stanwix and Fort Dayton, the Cherry Valley massacre; the cap- ture of Walter Butler, his escape; the "wild man"-Han Yost Schuy- ler-and his part in the plan of Benedict Arnold, then in com- mand of Mohawk Valley cam- paign; the death of Herkimer, scenes of war and destruction; the famous run of Adam Helmer when he raced with a party of bnaves to Fort Dayton to warn the settlers of Brant's presence in the valley; all are found in

"Drums Along the Mohawk" which has the added appeal of true historical fact.

In "In the Hands of the Sene- cas,' 'also by Walter D. Edmonds, gives us Indians who are more real than those found in Cooper's books. They have ithe various as- pects ,virtues and vices, brutality and kindness, ' friendliness and cruelty, loyalty and treachery of living people.

Carl Carmer also gives us real Indians in "Genesee Fever" in the personages of Red Jacket and Cornplanter and others. Also he describes another interesting sect, that of the "Public Universal Universal Friend," Jemima Wil- kinson who believed herself to be the . reincarnation of the Savior in the form of a woman. She was building a "New Jerusalem" and had gained a number of faithful followers. Another novel by Car- mer is "Listen for the Lonesome Drum," also centered in the Mo- hawik Valley.

Other novels written about the Mohawk Valley are by Harold Frederic, "In the Valley,". "Seth's Brother's Wife."

Mohawk Valley

By J. Marguerite Porter 7545 University Avenue La Mesa, Calif. (Continued from last week)

Nichols' story

of Percival Brooder tells of an annual musi- cal ritual held in the "Hills of God" in the Ilion Gulf. Here we constructed annually a temple of a number of white pillars It was to give the ceremony an air of sacredness The members of the sect of Peter Jones and Percival Brooder would pass in informal procession singing hymns and songs of the day to the spot where the temple was erected.

Peter Jones, pastor of the Lit- tle Reformed church 'near Sche- nectady, brother of Mary Jones Brooder, believed to have in his possession the Holy Grail from which the Sacrament was admin- istered at the Last Supper. His nephew, Percival, was chosen to go out into the world and seek the way to salvation. When he returned several years later, he raised the cup at the Harvest Fes- tival in the gulf, and the sign which they had long hoped for was given: a beam of light fell upon the contents of the cup, the blood of a newly killed lamb, and rested there for sixty seconds. This was believed to be the extra- ordinary recognition which they sought. Soon afterwards the Brooders, Peter Jones, and their followers, with the cup in thelr possession set sail to an unknown port and were never heard , of again.

James Fenimore Cooper, the

"American Scott" was the first American novelist to use the his- I tory and scenic beauty of the Mo- hawk Valley . in historical To- mances. In "Last of the Mohi- cans" he tells of the French and Indian War and places the story in this region. "The Pioneers" i centered about Lake Otsego, south of the Mohawk River. It is the story of an aged trapper who feels civilization and the laws which he cannot understand close in about him. Later in Cooper's career came the "Rent" novels, dealing with the evils of the pa- troon system of New York State. "The Redskins," "Satantoe," and | "The Chainbearers" have the same general locale as the others. Cooper presents the Indian In

his tales as a completely noble, honorable, very moral and ethi- cal creature, or else a completely evil, sly, disloyal and treacherous one. His Indians are highly color- ed with romance.

Walter D. Edmonds' much read novel, "Drums Along the Mo- hawk," Is a good picture of the people and of actions which took place in the valley during the Revolutionary War. The following is a credible description of the person and character of Joseph Brant, the Iroquois "Gentleman." "Brant smiled a little as he looked down at Herkimer and , shook him by the hand. His fea- tures were straight, well shaped. and full of animation. He kept looking round on the militia ag if to see what their reactions were. But their reactions to himself, not to the situation. It took but one look at him to see that he was vain.
