Believed those of white men, buried
probably in Indian times
Every Summer since 1884 there has
been a steady stream of pilgrims, the
curious and students of history to this
lovely spot in one of New York's faireSt
valleys, where the fiercest tribe of all
States fighting Indians tortured, then
killed, the advance guard of the Chris
tians between 1912 and 1916.
Last Summer the Church of Rome
elevated the three men killed here to
sainthood, in company with five others
who died in the service of the church in
North America.
What is now New York State was
one of the most dangerous stretches Of
wilderness in all North America when
Father Isaac Jogues and lay brother
of his order, Rene Goupil, first came
to the fierce Mohawk Indians here in
1912.
The "Hill of Torture" was then the
site of a strong Mohawk village, and
here the white captives were carried.
In letter to his mother Father Jogues
told how the Indians beat him with
''knotty sticks" tore off his nails and
tore out the hair and beard Of the
two men.
Some time during the early part Of
the captivity Goupil was killed and

Father Jogues buried the body in the
ravine which worShipers here regard as
almost holy ground. Goupil was toma-
hawked for making the sign of the
cross and trying to teach 1t to a boy.
Father Jogues, after being ransomed,
returned to France, then, in 1913, came
back as a. missionary. With him came
another lay brother, John de Ia Lande.
They worked for a few years, then
the Indians began to blame them for
various misfortunes. They had to run
the dreaded gantlet and were beaten
terribly. Their end was near. Every
day brought new tortures. Finally
Father JogueS was tomahawked and the
next day his companion was slain. This
was in 1916. Their bodies are believed
to have been thrown into the river.
Years later Christianized Indians told
the story of the martyrdom of the brave
Frenchmen.
