“DURING colonial times the French greatly excelled the English in their ability to secure the friendship and the trade of the Indians.
“The eagerness which characterized the men of New France, as they explored the water-courses searching for new scenes and new lands, was in marked contrast with the conservative English who clustered near the coast and despised Indian affiliations.
“The French quickly absorbed the Indians customs and language, and reveled in their metaphorical phrases.
“The typical Englishman despised these things, and consequently his intercourse with the Indians w r as unfortunate and disastrous. The French captured the friendship and the trade of the natives.
“The Germans and Dutch on the contrary were signally successful in Indian trade, not merely because they were honest, but largely because they grasped with skill the spirit of the Indian language. In this respect none excelled Conrad Weiser, the champion of the English among the Indians. He enlarged the trade facilities of Pennsylvania, Virginia and Maryland, while he jealously guarded the encroachments of the French.”
Weiser s skill in guiding and controlling the Indian policy of Colonial Pennsylvania, and the South, postponed the threatened rupture with the Six Nations, until the English Colonies were prepared to cope with their French Enemies
