Behold, my hand is empty; Sa-kwe-en-ta, the Fanged One has gone." It was true. There was nothing where, an instant before, I myself had seen the dread thing, crest swaying on a level with her eyes. "Will you be swept away by this young witch's magic?" shrieked Catrine Montour. "Oneidas!" cried Magdalen Brant, "the way is cleared!
"And that is why we have come here for riflemen, and that is why we are here to find the Sagamore, Mayaro. For our Oneidas have told us that he knows where the castles of the Long House lie, and that he can guide our army unerringly to that dark, obscure and fearsome Catharines-town where the hag, Montour, reigns in her shaggy wilderness."
Then the Mohawks raised their war-yelp and struck the post; and the Cayugas answered with a terrible cry, striking the post, and calling out for the Next Youngest Son meaning the Tuscaroras to draw their hatchets. "Have the Seminoles made women of you?" screamed Catrine Montour, menacing the sachems of the Tuscaroras with clinched fists.
Before Wyoming, with only three others I went to Thenondiago, the Castle of the Three Clans The Bear, The Wolf, and The Turtle and there we took and slew Skull-Face, brother of Amochol, and wounded Telenemut, the husband of Catrine Montour.
The old school house in which he received the ground work of his education still stands at Montour Falls, Schuyler county. Professor Ives was also Chief of Arts at the Columbian Exposition in 1893.

This was one George Croghan, a veteran trader, shrewd and sagacious, who had been frequently to the Ohio country with pack-horses and followers, and made himself popular among the Indians by dispensing presents with a lavish hand. He was accompanied by Andrew Montour, a Canadian of half Indian descent, who was to act as interpreter.
Brant bounded to his feet and caught Butler's rigid, outstretched arm. "Are you mad, to violate a council-fire?" he said, furiously. Magdalen Brant looked calmly at Butler, then deliberately faced the sachems. "Mohawks!" she called, steadily. There was a silence; Butler's black eyes were almost starting from his bloodless visage; the hag, Montour, clawed the air in helpless fury.
It was when he asked me to apply my taste for genealogical work to his own obscure family history that I made the discovery that he had in him a share of the blood of the Iroquois chief Montour and his French wife, a terrible woman who ruled the savage politics of the tribes of the Wilderness two hundred years ago.
The scalp yell was supposed to be uttered for every scalp taken, and, as they had taken more than three hundred, it did not cease for hours, penetrating every part of the forest. All the time Catharine Montour led the dance. None bounded higher than she. None grimaced more horribly.
"Dorothy," I said, smiling, "I use some weapons better than I do the war-axe. Are you afraid for me?" She looked at me seriously. "In that little world which I know there is much that terrifies men, yet I can say, without boasting, there is not, in my world, one living creature or one witch or spirit that I dread no, not even Catrine Montour!" "And who is Catrine Montour?"
