Under Four Nations

Portage Road, constructed on an old Indian trail,
was used to transport goods around the falls from
the Lewiston Landing to Fort Schlosser on the
upper river. It held the key to governing the
entire Great Lakes area and the
Mississippi-Ohio valleys. The portage was
controlled first by the Neuter and Seneca
Indians, then successively by the French
English and Americans.
