Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Sieur De Monts National Monument, Vol. 9: As Commemorating Acadia and Early French Influences of Race and Settlement in the United States The Sieur de Monts National Monument combines in a remarkable way three separate aspects: It is an extraordinary Nature Monument, as such are termed abroad, fitted to exhibit and preserve its regional life in the widest range a single area can, and to set forth its region´s geologic history; it is a great Recreation Area, a park in the true popular sense, capable in the highest degree of drawing city-wearied men and sending them away refreshed and stimulated; and it is a Historic Monument of singularly impressive character whose ancient granite heights, sculptured in bold relief by ice and sea, commemorate as they look out across the stormy wilderness of the North Atlantic the men who sailed across that wilderness in early days from ports of western France to settle on the Acadian shores or fish in the Acadian seas. The first commissions that resulted in permanent settlement on the American continent to the north of Florida were issued by Henry of Navarre, Henry IV of France, in December, 1603, to Pierre du Guast, Sieur de Monts and Governor of Pons, a Huguenot of noble family who had served the King faithfully through the recent wars and stood high in his esteem.
