Pioneers Of France In The New World by Francis Parkman
A vivid narrative of the early French ventures in North America that traces the explorers, traders, missionaries, and settlers who crossed the Atlantic in the 16th and 17th centuries; it recreates voyages and the founding of settlements such as Quebec, the alliances and conflicts with Indigenous peoples, the hardships of wilderness life, and the political, commercial and religious motives that drove colonization, all rendered with close attention to landscape, character, and the cultural clashes that shaped New France.
