Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed guide to the Thousand Islands in the St. Lawrence River. Known for their charming scenery, these picturesque islands have a rich history dating back to their discovery by French explorer Jacques Cartier in 1535. The indigenous Algonquin and Iroquois nations were the first to inhabit this territory, with Jesuit missionaries and French settlers later establishing a religious and military presence. The book delves into the historical significance of the region, particularly its role as a borderland between competing nations and as a strategic military outpost during the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. In addition to its historical value, the book offers practical information for visitors, with descriptions of the islands, their attractions, and the various activities available to travelers, such as fishing, boating, and exploring the natural beauty of the region.
