about 7 o’clock in the

we found a settlement, stopt and got our Dinners
–- the Land on both sides very low, some
appearing good, other but indifferent –- the
Timber Oak, shag bark Hickory, Maple, Ash,
Beach, Birch, Pine &ca.- about 4 P.M. proceeded
down to the Falls of Oswego, and encamp’d on the
North side near the Falls.- We have found plenty
of Fish ever since we enter'd the Onondago River --
saw Cat Fish at Fort Brewerton that would weigh 15 to
20 lb.- and a very good Fish they call Black Bass.
--at the Falls we purchased of some Indians
very excellent Salmon –- The River at the Falls is
about 200 yards wide, and the Fall over the Rock
