Oswegatchie Indian mission.
To insure the friendship of the Six Nations, Galissoniere, governor of Canada, in 1754 established an Indian mission on the southern bank of the St. Lawrence.
For this work the Abbe Francis Piquet was chosen, and he selected the mouth of the Oswegatchie for the station, on the site of Ogdensburg, where he hoped to draw in so many Iroquois converts as would bind all their kindred to the French alliance.
By order of General Brown a redoubt was begun in 1812 at the site of old Fort Presentation, which was not finished when Ogdensburg was attacked the second time by the British in 1813.
See Ogdensburg.
