Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Canadian Magazine of Politics, Science, Art and Literature, November 1897-April 1898, Vol. 10 The history of the discovery and exploration of Canada can be traced by the industrious student in the varied names, borrowed from the languages of many nations, that have been given in the course of four centuries to the waters and lands of the vast region which extends for three thousand five hundred miles from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Englishmen, Bretons, Basques, Normans, Portuguese, Spaniards, Huron-Iroquois and Algonquin Indians have all in turn written their names in indelible letters on the surface of the great country which embraces an area only two hundred thousand square miles less than that of all Europe, and almost equal to that of the United States. The names of saints and missionaries, of statesmen, nobles and soldiers, of gentlemen-adventurers and forest-rangers, of Indian chiefs and warriors, recall the storied past as we pass over river or lake or mountain of this territory, whose annals abound in many incidents of surpassing interest, since the days when a Venetian sailor sailed in an English ship and first sighted the northeastern shores of that great Continent for which Frenchmen and Englishmen were to contend at a later time in a supreme struggle which ended in the triumph of the latter.
