| Summary | "Old Trails on the Niagara Frontier" by Frank H. Severance is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work explores the largely untold history of the Niagara region from various perspectives, focusing on the interactions between European settlers, local Indigenous tribes, and the impact of religious missions. It highlights significant historical events and figures that shaped the region's development and gives insight into the challenges faced by early explorers and missionaries. The opening of this text introduces the author’s intention to give a deeper understanding of the Niagara landscape’s historical significance, notably starting with the individual experiences of early missionaries like Father Joseph de la Roche Dallion and Father Jean de Brébeuf. These missionaries aimed to spread Christianity among local Indigenous populations, specifically the Neuter nation, and their efforts were met with varying degrees of hostility and acceptance. The narrative sets up a broader exploration of the region's history, emphasizing the cultural and religious dimensions of early European settlement and missionary work in what would become a contested frontier.
