My life reading list 2008.09

Stories from the Canadian North- Edited by Muriel Whitaker

Beautiful illustrations. A whiteman's view of the artic. Captivating nonetheless.

Montréal du temps jadis. Edgar Andrew Collard. A facinating list of short stories about montreal through history. I especially enjoyed the gritty little details about life in the early days. Les Filles du roi were well treated, respected and trained by Marguerite Bourgeois. When Benjamin Franklin took an interest in Montreal. How a tricky Huron Indian chief helped keep the peace while getting even with the Iroquois. Thank you JPG
