 The Canadian historian James Paxton wrote the Palatines and Haudenosaunee "...visited each other's homes, conducted small-scale trade and socialized in taverns and trading posts".Unlike the frontier in Pennsylvania and in the Ohio river valley, where white settlers and the Indians had bloodstained relations, leading to hundreds of murders, relations between whites and Indians in Kanienkeh were friendly; between 1756-1774 only 5 whites were killed by the Haudenosaunee, while 6 Haudenosaunee were killed by the British Army or settlers.The New York frontier had no equivalent to the Paxton Boys, a vigilante group of Scots-Irish settlers on the Pennsylvania frontier who waged a near-genocidal campaign against the Susquehannock Indians in 1763-64, and the news of the killing perpetuated by the Paxton Boys was received with horror by both whites and Indians on the New York frontier.
