Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book transports you on an adventure in 17th century Canada through the firsthand accounts of Baron de Lahontan. The expedition begins at the Saint Lawrence River and continues to Lake Champlain and Lake Saint Pierre, traveling on rivers, lakes, and streams throughout North America. This fascinating narrative delves into the geography and natural history of the region. Along the way, Lahontan engages with Native American tribes, including the Iroquois, Algonquin, and Huron, documenting their beliefs, customs, and conflicts. The author's observations on the political and social dynamics between the French, English, and Native American populations provide a unique perspective on the complex power struggles of the era. Lahontan's account is not just a travelogue but a rich exploration of the human experience in a new and untamed land. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
