[1] Palisades
The Seneca had double palisades stronger than the pickets of the fort and the first could not have been forced without great loss. Their plan was to keep only 300 men inside, and with 1200 others perpetually harass you.
Rev. Jean de Lamberville, S.J.
October 9, 1684
[2] Palisades
This village, like all those of the Indians is nothing but a collection of cabins, surrounded with palisades twelve or thirteen feet high, bound together at the top, and supported at the base, behind the palisades, by large masses of wood of the height of a man. The curtains are not otherwise flanked, but form a simple enclosure, perfectly square, so that these forts are not any protection. Besides this, the precaution is seldom taken to place them on the bank of a stream, or near a spring, but on some hill, where, ordinarily, they are quite distant from water.
Rev. Rene Brehant de Gallinee
