Early Travelers to Fort Wayne (Classic Reprint)

0/5 ( ratings)

Excerpt from Early Travelers to Fort Wayne

Having concluded my surveys for this season, I wished to view the country between the St. Mary's and the Miami [maumee] rivers, in order to examine for myself the practicability of uniting the Wabash with the Mi ami so as to render intercourse by water safe and easy between the Ohio and Lake Erie through the channel. I set out yesterday from Shane's Cross ing on the St. Mary's and, traveling through a district of good land on or near the right bank of that river for forty miles, reached this place early in the evening and early this morning I set off to look at the junction of the St. Joseph and the St. Mary's, which two streams form the Miami River.

The St. Joseph River, rising in the Michigan Territory, runs south westerly about two hundred miles, receiving in its course several tributary streams. The St. Mary's, rising in Shelby County, Ohio, runs northwest erly more than two hundred miles . Forming a junction from nearly opposite points, the rivers turn suddenly south and assume the name of Miami of the Lakes, or, as pronounced by the French, Maumee. Then, turning gradually round again, these congregated waters flow off in a northeast direction about two hundred miles, following the course of the river to the southwest end of Lake Erie.
