Historical Notes On Quebec And Its Environment Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The St. John River: In Marine, Quebec, and New Brunswick Of the many rivers of Northeastern America, it would be difficult to find one which, in the diversity of its natural features, the facilities afforded for sportsmen, and the interesting history of its colonization, is more worthy of mention than the St. John; and yet this river, viewed in its entirety, has never formed the subject of any published work. Possibly the fact that the area drained by it lies partly in the United States and partly in Canada accounts for this. The patriotic Canadian does not care to eulogize the vast wilderness of Northern Maine, which, if the assertions of provincial geographers are true, was unjustly carved out of New Brunswick by the much abused Ashburton Treaty. The American, on the other hand, is not very eager to expatiate upon the natural resources of a country that he might prefer to possess as a fractional part of his own.
