At about six miles and a half fromQueenstown, near to the river side, stands Fort George, then constructedof earthen ramparts and palisades of cedar, and mounting no heaviermetal than 9-pounders. About half a mile below Fort George, and close tothe borders of Lake Ontario, stood the beautiful and flourishing villageof Newark, which was burnt by the Americans. Directly o...pposite to Newark, upon a neck of land projecting partlyacross the mouth of the river, which is here 875 yards in width, standsthe American fort of Niagara, the scene of so many conflicts. It wasbuilt by the French in 1751; taken by us in 1759;[51] and, along withseveral other frontier posts, ceded to the United States in 1794; and, though since taken, has again been ceded to the same power.
