Pioneer Priests Of North America Vol 3 PDF Download

Excerpt from Pioneer Priests of North America, Vol. 3: 1642-1710 HE name Algonquin is said to mean the place Where they spear fish, i. E., the front of the canoe. Other philologists insist that the proper interpretation of the word is the men on the other Side of the river, namely, the St. Lawrence. As many of the Algonquins did not live on the other side of the river, the latter meaning may be questioned unless it applies to those who, unlike the other branches of the great family, retained for themselves the name Algon quin; those namely who lived north of the St. Lawrence and whose stronghold was on the Allumette Island far up the Ottawa. In the days of the missions, the Ottawa and the St. Lawrence were regarded as the same river. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
