Old Fort Erie, with Migration of Wild Pigeons, by Edward Walsh, 1804. A British flag flies over the small fort at the outlet of Lake Erie (background) into the Niagara River (at the left). Settlers blast away at immense flocks of passenger pigeons—which are now extinct. A farm to the right attests to the environmental transformation wrought by settlement.

Map of the Oneida Reservation, ca. 1795. The lotted portions on the south and the east margins represent lands procured by New York State in 1795. Note the Genesee Road passing through the reservation, including the main village of Oneida (Kanonwalohale) on Oneida Creek. Note also Van Eps’s store to the east and Klock’s and Wemp’s taverns to the west. The Mohican township of New Stockbridge lies to the south and Brothertown in the southeast corner just below Samuel Kirkland’s property. (From Franklin B. Hough, comp., Notices of Peter Penet and His Operations among the Oneida Indians [1866]. Courtesy of the American Antiquarian Society.)
