beyond the word "falls". The likelihood is that the single falls which Smith experienced over a many week period in 1756, "12 to 15 feet high, and nearly perpendicular", i.e. high and very steep rapids, was somewhere in the vicinity of (now) Norwalk, Ohio; and by the mid-1800s, nature had probably reduced them to being more like actual rapids, than a "falls". Regardless, due to 19th-century historians' errors, "Canesadooharie" is now accepted as an alternate name for the Black River, rather than for the Huron River for which it was intended.
