It is doubtful ifthere is anywhere another thirty-six miles of riverway that can, in thisrespect, compare with it.The term 'strait' as applied to the Niagara correctly suggests the river'shistoric importance. The expression, recurring in so many of the relationsof French and English military officers, 'on this communication' alsoindicates Niagara's position in the story of the discovery, conquest, andoccupation of the continent.

It does not prove thatNiagara was the less important. 244 pp. Englisch.…
