Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historic Northwest Adventure Land Of these historic highways the one which in earliest times was the most travelled, is now followed by the Great Northern Railway; the name of its transcontinental train, the Oriental Limited, commemorates the ancient purpose which brought about the discovery of America and much of its early exploration; many of its stations - Chicago, Duluth, Allouez, Sioux City, Verendrye, Fort Union, Meriwether, Kalispell, Spokane, Wishram, Astoria, Seattle, Vancouver and others recall important phases of the past. The whole of the system, as far west as the Rocky Mountains, runs through what was once French territory, and no one can say how narrowly the people of the middle and northwest of the United States missed being citizens today of France. Twelve years before the Puritans felled a tree or murmured a psalm on their famous rock-bound coast, Champlain, a gentleman and soldier of France, laid the foundation of Quebec and the French Empire in America. He founded as it were an institute of exploration. The pupils were young Frenchmen, their class rooms Indian villages, their study the languages and woodcraft of the savages and such knowledge of the country as the latter possessed. These became the famous voyageurs and coureurs de bois, first white men to appear in the Northwest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
