First Iroquois Treaty Aimed War and Alliance
The 1664 treaty between the English and Iroquois began a lasting friendship amid centuries of conflict and shifting power in North America. It followed English control of New Amsterdam and Fort Orange and preceded later French invasions and later colonial wars. The Iroquois allied with the English in 1755 and many took refuge in Canada after the Revolution.

Remains of Josephs Well in Cairo Area
The remains of Josephs well lie along the canal route from Schechem to Memphis about two miles southeast of Cairo. The wall sits in a barracks courtyard near the citadel, Egypts second largest mosque. The well shows signs of bricking but suggests Josephs size wasn’t extreme and notes dry wells when the Nile runs low.
