Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; age tanned; spine cracked but fully intact between pp 332-333; crease and very light wear to dust jacket across upper back corner at spine; otherwise very minimal wear; Originally published 1905, this book combines accounts of the most important historical events connected with the St. Lawrence with descriptions of some of its most picturesque scenery. It justifies the claim of the Lower St. Lawrence that it was the birthland of the Amerinds, those native Americans who dreamed their warrior dreams long before the dawn of written history. It details the early adventures of the pioneer explorer and first governor of Canada, Champlain, who left Quebec as his monument. It recounts the exploits of the most notable explorers of the 17th century. Marquette; Hennepin; La Salle, and the Comte de Frontenac, the Savior of New France. Interspersed with the history are myths and legends: the tale of the Devil and the Wind; the legend of the white wraith of Perce Rock. And washing them all is the St. Lawrence, majestic and dignified, carrying to the sea one third of all the fresh water on the globe. Seller Inventory # 009723

In America, the aborigines used them as a dividing line to mark the territories which could be claimed by the various tribes. Along the banks of these unmapped streams they held their councils of war and celebrated their festivals of peace; they fished and hunted; they gambled on their future and won or lost. When the white men came, the waterways continued to be the highways of the explorers; on their banks were built first the homesteads of the pioneers and then the cities, whose mills and factories were run by power furnished by waterfalls. Thus, in many ways the rivers became identified with the progress of civilization. And of all the rivers, one of the most impressive was the great St. Lawrence. "What river is this?'' Cartier asked his Indian guide as he looked on the St. Lawrence. "A river without end," the red man replied. This is the most comprehensive and yet succinct one~volume work ever written about those mighty waters which for a thousand miles act as a boundary between the United States and Canada; the river which Sir J. M. LeMoine called "The noblest, the purest, most enchanting river on all God's beautiful earth . " It combines accounts of the most important historical events connected with the St. Lawrence with descriptions of some of its most picturesque scenery. It justifies the claim of the Lower St. Lawrence that it was the birthland of the Amerinds, those native Americans who dreamed their warrior dreams long before the dawn of written history. It details the early adventures of the pioneer explorer and first governor of Canada, Champlain, who left Quebec as his monument. It recounts the exploits of the most notable explorers of the seventeenth century: Marquette; Hennepin; La Salle, and the Comte de Frontenac, the Savior of New France. We see through fresh eyes the importation of lovely maidens to be the brides of the early settlers ~ a hundred in 1665, two hundred in 1666 ~ and learn how they were divided by class so that both the nobles and the habitants could be certain to have wives appropriate to their stations. Again we live through the French and English Wars, the siege and capture of Quebec by Wolfe, the defeat of Montcalm and the tragic deaths of both of these heroes on the Plains of Abraham. The missionary colonists are not neglected, nor the story of the miracles of St. Anne de Beaupre. In the nineteenth century, we are told, the "patriot war" of 1837, instigated by some fanatics who called themselves the "reform party," had repercussions which went far beyond Canada's borders and affected both President Van Buren and General Scott, who may have lost the Whig nomination as a result. Interspersed with the history are myths and legends: the tale of the Devil and the Wind; the legend of the white wraith of Perce Rock. . And washing them all is the St. Lawrence, majestic and dignified, carrying to the sea one third of all the fresh water on the globe. Seller Inventory # 3092401
