Morgan Smith at the February meeting of 13ayfield• branch of Huron County of Historical Society. During his talk, Dr, Smith spoke of the development of trade routes along rivers and Indian trails. "The Indians avoided the open waters of the Great Lakes, although Strickland, an employee of the Canada Company, described a large canoe with 25 Indians and several bales of fur coming across the lake to Goderich. "The Ottawa was the great route to the west, striking up to Lake Nippissing and the protected coastal waters of Georgian Bay. This was supplemented by the river systems of the north shore of Lake Ontario, especially the Trent to Lake Simcoe and via Lake Couchiching and the Severn to Georgian Bay. This was the route shown Champlain when he first saw Lake Ontario, it was the route considered the most direct to Ontario, and this mistaken idea was responsible two centuries later for the construction of the Trent canal. Still a century later such a failure to study the use of land and communications prompted the building of one of the first railways in Canada West from Cobourg to Rice Lake and Peterborough. Needless to say this was not economically viable, jand today:there are few,aestigea of thecroute." Dr.' Smith mentioned the Bayfield area and said that it had probably served as Iroquois hunting ground, he said that the trail to this area was "from Burlington to the Upper Thames and south to Lake Erie, with a branch from the West fork to Lake Huron. I imagine this involved a portage from Mitchell to Dublin. "We must remember that all of Ontario was virgin forest at the time, and the creeks and rivers held much more water than now. Draining the swamps, cutting the timber and now, tile drainage of our farms have lowered our surface waters greatly, so that mighty torrents such as ,the Taddle are now underground " sewers, and the salmon have long since ceased to spawn on the Humber and the Don." He traced the development of the routes by water through a variety of craft from the canoe to the steamship. "The first ship on Lake Huron was the Griffon, built in 1679 by La Salle." It was lost on a return voyage from Green Bay in Lake Huron. "The first stage coaches in Upper Canada," said Dr. Smith, "operated over the Niagara portage in 1789. In our area the first regular coach lines operated from Hamilton through Gait and Guelph, and then over the Canada Company road to Goderich. Earlier transport was available from the opening of the road in 1828, but the conditions of travel were such that Mrs. Strickland the wife of great grandmother,, and a family Bible Printed in 1536 and 'brought to Canada by the Smiths in 1792, Officers of the Society far 1970 are: Chairman, Mrs. A. ;S.
