The MONTOUR Line - Queen Esther and Queen Catherine |
 | | She was a tall, but not very fleshy woman--not as dark as the usual Indian in complexion--had the features of a white woman--cheek bones not high, hair fl, but soft and fine like a white woman, not the heavy fl hair of the squaw. |
 | | It is very apparent from the various narratives that Queen Esther, or Easter, as she was often called, in her whole life and character showed the half-breed to an unusual extent; first, seemingly influenced by the white blood, and then by the red, presenting a most interesting psychological problem to the thoughtful mind. |
 | | She became Queen after the chief's death, and at the time of Sullivan's march, in 1779, was living with her tribe in the Chemung Valley, near Montour Falls, N.Y., evacuated before the oncoming of the troops and fled with her tribe to western N.Y. and Canada. |
