Best Answer

He and the Hurons crossed Lake Ontario, traveled south through western New York attempting to avoid the Senecas, and into northwestern PA. Thence east to the Susquehannock villages on the N. Br. Susquehanna River near present day Athens. Purpose was to amass a force with the Susquehannocks to assault the Iroquois villages at Onondaga. The group was delayed in their journey to Onondaga, and missed the designated meeting time with Champlain, with whom they were to join forces.

Brule then spent perhaps a year with the Susquehannocks, during which time he supposedly explored the entire Susquehanna River downstream to it's mouth at Chesapeake Bay, and perhaps through the length of the bay and gained sight of the Atlantic.

Shortly after leaving the Susquehannock villages and heading back for Canada, he was captured by the Senecas, either in northwestern PA or western New York.
