Famous Firesides of French Canada

A book about Canadian history first published in 1899. In offering this little volume to the kind consideration of Canadian and American readers, it is the earnest wish of the Author that it may commend itself to the interest of both, as the early histories of Canada and the United States are so closely connected that they may be considered identical. We have tried to recall the days when, by these firesides, were rocked the cradles of those who helped to make Canadian history, and to render more familiar the names and deeds of the great men, French, English and American, upon whose valor and wisdom such mighty issues depended.
