About This Book

A collection of historical essays surveys the Niagara frontier from early European incursions to later local developments. It traces French missionary activity and exploratory journeys, recounting the hardships of travel, encounters with Indigenous peoples, and the decisions that shaped settlement patterns. Other pieces examine military posts and ceremonies, merchants' journals and frontier misadventures, and the hidden routes used during periods of tension. The volume closes with observations on how local landscapes and events entered regional poetry and with reflections on how individual experiences reveal wider social, religious, and cultural changes in the borderlands.
