The Tuscaroras joined the Five Nations between 1712 and 1715. See _Wisconsin Historical Collections_, xvi, p. 321, for a letter from the governor of New France, mentioning this fact.—ED. Footnote 22: After the Revolutionary War, nearly thirty thousand Loyalists left the United States to settle in the Canadian provinces. Of these, about ten thousand went from the back settlements by way of Lake Ontario, and founded Upper Canada. General Haldimand was largely instrumental in this movement, and 1784 was the year of its culmination. The Mohawks, also, under the leadership of Brant, removed about the same time to the two reservations mentioned by Long. Descendants of this tribe still live in these two localities, although most of the land has been alienated.—ED. Footnote 23: This is a good résumé of the history of Fort Frontenac, which was built in 1673, abandoned during the Iroquois War in 1689, but restored in 1695. La Salle was for several years proprietor of the fort, the revenues from which passed afterwards to the royal treasury. In 1758, Fort Frontenac was captured and destroyed by a British expedition, after which it fell into disuse, until the Loyalists re-garrisoned it about 1784.—ED. Footnote 24: This was the site of Father Picquet’s mission and fortified post, La Présentation. This Sulpitian missionary came to Canada in 1734, and after several years’ service in the colonies founded this establishment in 1749, where the city of Ogdensburg, New York, now stands. He was successful in attracting the Iroquois thither, and had in his settlement nearly three thousand Indians, who espoused the French cause in the French and Indian War. In 1760, Picquet retired to New Orleans, and thence to France. The English, on taking possession, changed the name of the post to Fort Oswegatchie. It was garrisoned and maintained until after Jay’s Treaty in 1794. In 1792, the site had been purchased by Ogden, and the settlement of the modern city was begun four years later.—ED. Footnote 25: The Mississagua Indians were first met by the French on the north shore of Lake Huron, and formed part of the Sault Ste. Marie mission (1670–73). Later, they removed to the lower Michigan peninsula, and some settled at Detroit. They now have a reservation in Eastern Ontario, and number about eight hundred. The other Indians mentioned are those of the Jesuit mission villages. See _Jesuit Relations_ (Thwaites’s ed., Cleveland, 1896–1901), index.—ED. Footnote 26: Haldimand fortified Carleton Island at the mouth of Lake Ontario, by sending thither (1778) three companies of the 47th regiment to erect a post.—ED. Footnote 27:
