Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
This is a high quality book of the original classic edition. This is a freshly published edition of this culturally important work, which is now, at last, again available to you. Enjoy this classic work. These few paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside: Fort Niagara, whose large central stone castle, built in 1726, still remains, passed from the French under Pouchot, to the British under Sir William Johnson; a great flotilla of canoes conveying the Indian warriors under Ligneris to the aid of the Fort, had come down from the Upper Lakes, to the Niagara River, but upon it being proved to them that they were too late, for the Fort had fallen, they re-entered their canoes and re-traced their way up the rivers back to their Western homes. ...In this same year H.R.H. the Duke of Kent [afterwards father of Her Majesty Queen Victoria] is reported as having proceeded from Kingston up Lake Ontario to Navy Hall on the Niagara River in the Kings ship Mohawk commanded by Commodore Bouchette. ...These vessels seem to have sailed somewhat intermittently, but regular connection on every other day with the Niagara River was established by The Duke of Richmond packet, a sloop of one hundred tons built at York in 1820, under Commander Edward Oates. ...No name is given of the steamer, nor the date of the launch, but this item has been considered to have referred to the steamer named Ontario, built at Sacketts Harbor and in consequence of its having apparently been launched first, precedence has been claimed for the United States vessel. ...Further information of the American steamer is given in an application for incorporation of the Lake Ontario Steam Boat Co. made in December, 1816, by Charles Smyth and others, of Sacketts Harbor, who stated in their petition that they had lately constructed a steam boat at Sacketts Harbor?the Navy Department of the United States have generously delivered a sufficiency of timber for the construction of the vessel for a reasonable sum of money?the boat is now built?the cost so far exceeds the means which mercantile men can generally command that they are unable to build any further?the English in the Province of Upper Canada have constructed a steam boat of seven hundred tons burthen avowedly for the purpose of engrossing the business on both sides of the lake.
