It justifies the claim of the Lower St. Lawrence that it was the birthland of the Amerinds, those native Americans who dreamed their warrior dreams long before the dawn of written history. It details the early adventures of the pioneer explorer and first governor of Canada, Champlain, who left Quebec as his monument. It recounts the exploits of the most notable explorers of the 17th century. Marquette; Hennepin; La Salle, and the Comte de Frontenac, the Savior of New France. Interspersed with the history are myths and legends: the tale of the Devil and the Wind; the legend of the white wraith of Perce Rock... And washing them all is the St. Lawrence, majestic and dignified, carrying to the sea one third of all the fresh water on the globe.\u003cbr\u003eVery Good in Very Good dust jacket\u003cbr\u003eHardcover\u003cbr\u003eWeathervane Books\u003cbr\u003e1976\u003cbr\u003eNew York, NY\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Werdz Quality Used Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52117213708568,"sku":"009723","price":14.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/2747\/0104\/files\/78BCD29F-1772-44F9-81C8-C576FB391B75.jpg?v=1781384307","url":"https:\/\/werdzbooks.com\/products\/the-st-lawrence-river-browne-george-w","provider":"Werdz Quality Used  Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
