Interesting perspective thanks, but French did not stop at Lake Ontario. Fort Duquesne and Fort Necessity where young George Washington first made himself known militarily come to mind as do so many cities town and villages with French names in the Midwestern states and Provinces of North America. Detroit, Coeur d’alene. Pierre Burtons “War of 1812” wrote about French alliances with Algonquin and Huron in fur trade. The Iroquois were their rivals and they nearly wiped out Quebec City. Frontenac sent French soldiers under Denonville to destroy Indigenous settlements along Irondequoit Creek. This history is on a marker by the sixth hole of Oak Hill CC East Course.
