Would somebody please educate me as to how travelers went from Europe through Canada then on to Chicago?
Did immigrant ships ultimately arrive in Chicago?

It was common to travel by train inland and many also took steamboats on the lakes part of the way. The main route was via Montreal - Toronto - Detroit.
