Excerpt from A Trip Through the Lakes of North America: Embracing a Full Description of the St. Lawrence River, Together With All the Principal Places on Its Mouth: Commerce of the Lakes, Etc;; Forming Altogether a Complete Guide for the Pleasure Traveller and Emigrant In presenting to the public the present volume, entitled "A Trip through the Lakes of North America," embracing a description of the St. Lawrence River, etc., the compiler wishes to return his sincere thanks for the liberal patronage and the many kind favors received from those who have doubly assisted him in his labors, by contributing reliable and useful information in regard to the many interesting localities in which the great Valley of the Lakes and the St. Lawrence abounds - affording altogether many new and interesting facts of great importance to the Tourist who may wish to visit the Inland Seas of America, or the noble St. Lawrence, at any point from its source to its mouth - the tour being one of the most healthy, picturesque, and wonderful on the face of the globe, when viewed, as a whole, from the Lake of the Woods to the Gulf of St. Lawrence. In the arrangement and compilation of this work every attempt has been made to render the information it contains concise and truthful - taking up popular lines of travel as they now exist, and faithfully describing places and objects of interest as they occur on the route. We thus start from Niagara Falls, or Toronto, situated on Lake Ontario, and describe in succession Lake Simcoe, the Georgian Bay and North Channel, arriving at Saut Ste Marie, the gateway of the Lake Superior country. Here, among the Mineral Regions, may be found objects of interest sufficient to induce the intelligent traveler to spend some weeks or months; and if, added to this, should be included a Trip to the Upper Mississippi Valley, an entire season could be profitably employed.

Object Lessons: How Nineteenth-Century Americans Learned to Make Sense of the Material World examines the ways material things--objects and pictures--were used to reason about issues of morality, race, citizenship, and capitalism, as well as reality and representation, in the nineteenth-century United States. For modern scholars, an "object lesson" is simply a timeworn metaphor used to describe any sort of reasoning from concrete to abstract. But in the 1860s, object lessons were classroom exercises popular across the country. Object lessons helped children to learn about the world through their senses--touching and seeing rather than memorizing and repeating--leading to new modes of classifying and comprehending material evidence drawn from the close study of objects, pictures, and even people. In this book, Sarah Carter argues that object lessons taught Americans how to find and comprehend the information in things--from a type-metal fragment to a whalebone sample. Featuring over fifty images and a full-color insert, this book offers the object lesson as a new tool for contemporary scholars to interpret the meanings of nineteenth-century material, cultural, and intellectual life.

There is no doubt that local and regional history, considered by many as a kind of minor historical study, has a pressing need for a systematic inventory of its resources. This collection shows the durability, the vividness, and the astonishing productivity of a sector of history which is the stronghold of the history-lover rather than the professional historian. The nature and content of each book determines its selection. For each book included, the compilers have weighed its contribution to local history and regional history rather than the style in which it is written—narrative, memoir, descriptive study, or novel. It is this criterion of selection that has permitted the retention of several general histories of a varied nature—Bouchette, Charlevoix, Nicholas Denys, La Potherie, Lescarbot, Hanotaux, Sulte, etc.— where local and regional life takes on a major importance for reasons of order in history, method, or quite simply because local life is the principal object of the study itself. The editors have also retained certain works—those of George W. Brown, Arthur Buies, George M. Grant, Blodwen Davies, etc.—because they are primarily descriptive and contain numerous elements in which local history blends with the manners and customs of the inhabitants of certain regions. This bibliography is designed primarily for historiographers who have until now paid little attention to local, regional, or parochial history. It will also be invaluable for librarians who suffer from the numerous difficulties involved in the classification of such works. Since 1950, all works published in Canada are, by virtue of the book deposit law, provided to the National Library of Canada, and recorded in Canadiana.

A colorful figure of 18th-century America, Israel Putnam (1718-1790) played a key role in both the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary War. In 1758 he barely escaped from being burned alive by Mohawk warriors. He later commanded a force of 500 men who were shipwrecked off the coast of Cuba. It was he who reportedly gave the command "Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes" at the Battle of Bunker Hill. Detailing Putnam's close relationships with Aaron Burr, Alexander Hamilton, and John and Abigail Adams, this first full-length biography of Putnam in more than a century re-examines the life of a revolutionary whose seniority in the Continental Army was second only to that of George Washington.
