Historic Handbook of the Northern Tour
Publisher Description
This book is a group of narratives of the most striking events of the colonial history connected with the principal points of interest to the tourist visiting Canada and the northern borders of the United States. This beautiful lake owes its name to Samuel de Champlain, the founder of Quebec. In 1609, long before the Pilgrim Fathers landed at Plymouth, he joined a band of Huron and Algonquin warriors on an expedition against their enemies, the Iroquois, since known as the Five Nations of New York. While gratifying his own love of adventure, he expected to make important geographical discoveries.
