Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Story of Our Country: A History of Canada for Four Hundred Years
Through the shaded aisles of a primeval forest. Over thousands of miles of lake and river and wilderness echo the sounds of that hun dred years of war between the French and English for the possession of this continent. Out of these struggles develop the striking inci dents of the Revolutionary period and the first con?ict for Canadian independence; out of the new condition of affairs then created come the memories of a war in 1812 which was fought for freedom as fully, and marked by episodes as heroic. As ever were the con?icts of ancient Greek or modern Swiss.
