Jay and Sally PurchasedChief JosephI’m trying to get like y’all. Straight up!The Iroquois grand council had chosen Joseph or He-Who-Is-Most-Like-Them to represent their interests. His first order of business would be to remove Susquehanna Sam from the mortal coil. This was done immediately and efficiently. Joseph, a Seneca by birth had many dealings with the Dutch. He could speak their language fluently and had even visited Amsterdam with a Frenglish trade delegation during the height of the Wolf and Hawk war. He was impressed by the Batavian rebels and their valiant efforts to purge the Frenglish occupiers from their lands though he dare not speak of it. Joseph wanted his people to focus on insurgency tactics first and gradually be able to field a strong army capable of meeting the best Europe had to offer in open battle. He was that dude.
