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 King's 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 Sackett's 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 Sackett's Harbor, who stated in their petition that they had 'lately constructed a steam boat at Sackett's 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.'

Download or read book Albion s Seed written by David Hackett Fischer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1991-03-14 with total page 981 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.
