Adventurers of the New World : the saga of the coureurs des bois / [by] Georges-Hébert Germain.: NM24-3/2003E
For almost three centuries, the coureurs des bois traveled the length and breadth of North America, finding their way through its trackless forests and paddling its vast network of lakes and rivers – essential skills that they had learned from the Aboriginal inhabitants. This book highlights the experience of these adventurers in the New World, many of whom ended up abandoning their European roots and adopting the culture and way of the people they lived among. Over three hundred photographs and illustrations provide glimpses of the land and the life that they shared with their Indian brothers. This is their story.
