About this audiobook
Revealing a little-known part of North American history, this lively guide tells the fascinating tale of the settlement of the St. Lawrence Valley. It also tells of the Montreal and Quebec-based explorers and traders who traveled, mapped, and inhabited a very large part of North America, and "embrothered the peoples" they met, as Jack Kerouac wrote. Connecting everyday life to the events that emerged as historical turning points in the life of a people, this book sheds new light on Quebec's 450-year history-and on the historical forces that lie behind its two recent efforts to gain independence.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Nice broad overview of Quebec history. Narrator's pronunciation of French words is terrible and distracting.
