The route of Champlain and the site of the fort attacked by him has occasioned a diversity of views. Champlain’s own narrative, besides making part of the English translation of his works, is also translated in the _Doc. Hist. of New York_, vol. iii., and in the _Mag. of Amer. Hist._, September, 1877, p. 561. Fac-similes of the print of the fort, besides being in the works, are also in the _Doc. Hist. of New York_, iii. 9; Shea’s _Le Clercq_, i. 104; _Mag. of Amer. Hist._, September, 1877; Watson’s _History of Essex County, N. Y._, p. 22. Mr. Marshall began the discussion of these questions as early as 1849 in the _New York Hist. Soc. Proc._ for March of the same year, p. 96; but gave the riper results of his study in the _Mag. of Amer. Hist._, vol. i., January, 1877, with a fac-simile of Champlain’s 1632 map. His views here were controverted in the same, September, 1877, by George Geddes, who placed the fort on Onondaga Creek, and by Dr. J. G. Shea in the _Pennsylvania Magazine of History_, ii. 103, who substantially agreed with an address by General J. S. Clark, which has not yet been printed, but whose views are shared by Mr. L. W. Ledyard, who in an address, Jan. 9, 1883, at Cazenovia, N. Y., tells the story of his own and General Clark’s investigation of the site of the fort, and places it near Perryville, N. Y. Dr. Shea, in his _Le Clercq_, i. 100, has since gone over the authorities. It was in reply to Geddes, Shea, and Clark that Mr. Marshall wrote the paper from which the above sketch-map is taken. Dr. O’Callaghan, in his _Documentary History of New York_, iii. 16, had advanced the theory that the fort was on Lake Canandaigua: and to this view Mr. Parkman guardedly assented in his _Pioneers_, and so marked the fort on his map. Brodhead, _History of New York_, i. 69, and Clark in his _History of Onondaga_, placed it on Onondaga Lake.
