He contended that "Niagara was the utmost extent westward of the cultivable part of the province," that while it was true that there was a small settlement at Detroit, and it was of great importance as a post for the Indian trade, it could never become of great importance as a place of settlement ; that the falls of Niagara presented a barrier to the transportation of produce, which must greatly impede the progress of settlement and cultivation...
