The Rival Claimants for North America, 1497-1755 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Rival Claimants for North America, 1497-1755
There was another clause in this treaty of Utrecht which the French were hard put to interpret to their advantage. This was the clause by which the French acknowledged the English right to trade with all Indians. The minutes of ia struction given to Duquesne, show how this was interpreted. The English may pretend that we are bound by the Treaty of Utrecht to permit the Indians to trade with them; but it is sure that nothing can oblige us to allow this trade on our own lands. This, in the light of the French claim to the water-sheds of the St. Lawrence and the Mississippi, would debar the English from trading at Oswego, and on the Ohio.
