Introduction. The springs of American civilization, unlike those of the elder world, lie revealed in the clear light of History. In appearance, they are feeble ; in reality, copious and full of force. Acting at the sources of life, instruments otherwise weak become mighty for good and evil, and men, lost elsewhere in the crowd, stand forth as agents of Destiny. In their toils, their sufferings, their conflicts, momentous questions were at stake, and issues vital to the future world,—the prevalence of races, the triumph of principles, health or disease, a blessing or a curse. On the obscure strife where men died by tens or by scores hung questions of as deep import for posterity as on those mighty contests of national adolescence where carnage is reckoned by thousands. It is not the writer's purpose, however, to enter upon subjects which have already been thoroughly investigated and developed, but to restrict himself to those where new facts may be exhibited, or facts already known may be placed in a more clear and just light. <strong>...</strong></p>Parkman Francis - France and England in North America 2 The Jesuits in North America in the seventeenth centuryurn:md5:199b57dafab5e170758a8875f33611be2014-03-19T00:28:00+00:002014-03-19T02:29:22+00:00balderParkman FrancisAnthroposophyCanadaEnglandFranceNorth AmericaQuébecSociety of JesusUnited States <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img3/Parkman_Francis_-_France_and_England_in_North_America_2_The_Jesuits_in_North_America_in_the_seventeenth_century.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Introduction. Few passages of Mstory are more striking than those which record the efforts of the earlier French Jesuits to convert the Indians. Full as they are of dramatic and philosophic interest, bearing strongly on the political destinies of America, and closely involved with the history of its native population, it is wonderful that they have been left so long in obscurity. While the infant colonies of England still clung feebly to the shores of the Atlantic, events deeply ominous to their future were in progress, unknown to them, in the very heart of the continent. It will be seen, in the sequel of this volume, that civil and religious liberty found strange allies in this Western World. <strong>...</strong></p>Parkman Francis - France and England in North America 3 La Salle and the discovery of the Great Westurn:md5:c362fb1775b6c60ba4278280dd7ee0e62014-03-19T00:27:00+00:002014-03-19T01:31:22+00:00balderParkman FrancisAnthroposophyCanadaEnglandFranceGermanyNorth AmericaQuébecUnited States <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img3/Parkman_Francis_-_France_and_England_in_North_America_3_La_Salle_and_the_discovery_of_the_Great_West.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Preface to the eleventh edition. When the earlier editions of tills book were published, I was aware of the existence of a collection of documents relating to La Salle, and containing Important material to which I had not succeeded in gaining access. This collection was in possession of M. Pierre Margry, director of the Archives of the Marine and Colonies at Paris, and was the result of more than thirty years of research. With rare assiduity and zeal, M. Margry had explored not. only the vast depository with which he has been officially connected from youth, and of which he is now the chidt, but also the other public archives of France, and many private collections in Paris and the provinces. <strong>...</strong></p>Parkman Francis - France and England in North America 4 The Old Régime in Canadaurn:md5:23b826b07f1dbed0bbf34d1e698264a92014-03-19T00:26:00+00:002014-03-19T01:31:22+00:00balderParkman FrancisAnthroposophyAustriaCanadaEnglandFranceGermanyNorth AmericaQuébecRoiTheosophyUnited States <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img3/Parkman_Francis_-_France_and_England_in_North_America_4_The_Old_Regime_in_Canada.jpg" alt="" /><br />

In the summer of 1653 all Canada turned to fasting and penance, processions, vows, and supplications. The saints and the Virgin were beset with unceasing prayer. The wretched little colony was like some puny garrison, starving and sick, compassed with inveterate foes, supplies cut off, and succor hopeless. <strong>...</strong></p>Parkman Francis - France and England in North America 5 Count Frontenac and New France under Louis XIVurn:md5:7bbb9db92d8513758e110556a0244b592014-03-19T00:25:00+00:002014-03-19T01:31:22+00:00balderParkman FrancisCanadaChrétienEnglandFranc-maçonnerieFranceHébraïsmeLouis XIVNorth AmericaQuébecRoiUnited States <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img3/Parkman_Francis_-_France_and_England_in_North_America_5_Count_Frontenac_and_New_France_under_Louis_XIV.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Preface. The events recounted in this book group them-selves in the main about a single figure, that of Count Frontenac, the most remarkable man who ever represented the crown of France in the New World. From strangely unpromising beginnings, he grew with every emergency, and rose equal to every crisis. His whole career was, one of conflict, sometimes petty and personal, sometimes of momentous consequence, involving the question of national ascendency on this continent. Now that this question is put at rest for ever, it is hard to conceive the anxiety which it wakened in our forefathers. But for one rooted error of French policy, the future of the English-speaking races in America would have been more than endangered. <strong>...</strong></p>Parkman Francis - France and England in North America 6 A half-century of conflicturn:md5:a81defd211631d45a3d3408ff9f2eeed2014-03-19T00:24:00+00:002014-03-19T01:31:22+00:00balderParkman FrancisCanadaChrétienEnglandFranceHébraïsmeNorth AmericaQuébecUnited States <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img3/Parkman_Francis_-_France_and_England_in_North_America_6_A_half-century_of_conflict.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Preface. This book, forming Part VI. of the series called France and England in North America, fills the gap between Part V., " Count Frontenac," and Part VII, " Montcalm and Wolfe ; " so that the series now forms a continuous history of the efforts of France to occupy and control this continent. In the present volumes the nature of the subject does not permit an unbroken thread of narrative, and the unity of the book lies in its being throughout, in one form or another, an illustration of the singularly contrasted characters and methods of the rival claimants to North America. Like the rest of the series, this work is founded on original documents. The statements of secondary writers have been accepted only when found to conform to the evidence of contemporaries, whose writings have been sifted and collated with the greatest care. <strong>...</strong></p>Parkman Francis - France and England in North America 7 Montcalm and wolfeurn:md5:e568c0f0399cb63c51aa6207495ecdd32014-03-19T00:23:00+00:002014-03-19T01:31:22+00:00balderParkman FrancisCanadaChrétienEnglandFranceHébraïsmeNorth AmericaQuébecUnited States <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img3/Parkman_Francis_-_France_and_England_in_North_America_7_Montcalm_and_wolfe.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Preface. The names on the titlepage stand as representative of the two nations whose final contest for the control of North America is the subject of the book. A very large amount of unpublished material has been used in its preparation, consistmg for the most part of documents copied from the archives and libraries of France and England, especially from the Archives de la Marine et des Colonies, the Archives de la Guerre, and the Archives Nationales at Paris, and the Public Eecord Office and the British Museum at London. The papers copied for the present work in France alone exceed six thousand foho pages of manuscript, additional and supplementary to the "Paris Documents" procured for the State of Xew York under the ap;encv of Mr. Brodhead. The copies made in England form ten volumes, besides many English documents consulted in the original manuscript. Great numbers of autograph letters, diaries, and other writings of persons engaged in the war have also been examined on this side of the Atlantic. <strong>...</strong></p>Parkman Francis - France and England in North America 8 The conspiracy of Pontiacurn:md5:7ef2c56213be16be72b91eeaa3a5f0472014-03-19T00:22:00+00:002014-03-19T01:31:22+00:00balderParkman FrancisCanadaChrétienConspiracyEnglandFranceHébraïsmeNorth AmericaQuébecUnited States <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img3/Parkman_Francis_-_France_and_England_in_North_America_8_The_conspiracy_of_Pontiac.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Preface to the sixth edition. I chose the subject of this book as affording better opportunities than any other portion of American history for portraying forest life and the Indian character; and I have never seen reason to change this opinion. In the nineteen years that have passed since the first edition was published, a considerable amount of additional material has come to light. This has been carefully collected, and is incorporated in the present edition. The most interesting portion of this new material has been supplied by the Bouquet and Haldimand Papers, added some years ago to the manuscript collections of the British Museum. <strong>...</strong></p>Parkman Francis - France and England in North America 9 The Oregon trailurn:md5:25ad46a398b97eb4583a3ff247ee3a8d2014-03-19T00:21:00+00:002014-03-19T01:31:22+00:00balderParkman FrancisCanadaChrétienEnglandFranceHébraïsmeNorth AmericaQuébecUnited States <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img3/Parkman_Francis_-_France_and_England_in_North_America_9_The_Oregon_trail.jpg" alt="" /><br />

The " Oregon Trail " is the title under which this book first appeared. It was afterwards changed by the publisher, and is now restored to the form in which it originally stood in the Knickerbocker Magazine. As the early editions were printed in my absence, I did not correct the proofs, a process doubly necessary, since the book was written from dictation. The necessary corrections have been made in the present edition. <strong>...</strong></p>
