Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jefferson County Prior to 1797: An Address Delivered at the Jefferson County Centennial in June, 1905 Thus the area, which is today called The Adirondack Wilder ness divided this land of conflict into two distinct regions; and we are to devote our attention to the western of these, where Ontar io's waters, flowing between the islands, which lie like stepping stones from its northern to its eastern shore, are gathered into the Great River of Canada. Across the eastern end of the lake, among the islands of the St. Lawrence, and through the surrounding forests have passed Algonkin and Iroquois warriors; Hurons and Abena kis; the French grenadier and the Scotch Highlander; Hessian chas scurs, American rangers, and the marauders of Johnson and Brant; the raw militiaman of the young republic and the veteran guards man of Britain.
