Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Old French Fort at Toronto and Its Monument The domain of the Five Nations of the Iroquois Indians, which extended along the whole of the south side of Lake Ontario, was, for a time, regarded, in theory at least, as neutral ground by the French of New France and the English of New England. But both French and English soon shewed a desire to obtain a good foothold there, first for the purposes of trade, and secondly with a view, it cannot be doubted, to ultimate possession by treaty or otherwise. By permission of the neighboring aborigines, La Salle, in 1679, erected a small stockade at the mouth of the Niagara River, to be simply a temporary receptacle for peltries brought down from Michi-limackinac and Detroit, by way of Lake Erie, and a store-house for goods to be offered in exchange for the same; which stockade, by 1725, had become the strong, solid fortress which, with some enlargements, we see to-day in good condition, commanding the communication between the lakes Ontario and Erie. Had Fort Toronto been longer-lived than it was, it would have become, without doubt, in a short time an armed military establishment, like the other posts.
