Champlain was stunned when he saw his truchement again in 1615. They were both deep in Huron territory. Champlain was advancing his campaign against the Onondaga Iroquois and was in need of men. He dispatched Brûlé to locate the Susquehanna tribe and ask for their help. Brûlé found the tribe near Binghamton, New York, becoming the first European to explore Lake Ontario, Pennsylvania, and the Upper Chesapeake Bay along the way. He delivered the Susquehanna warriors two days after the battle was lost, though, and found Champlain wounded and on his way to Huron country to recuperate.
