Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Discover the rich history of the land that encompasses the Saguenay River and Tadoussac. This book provides a detailed journey, beginning with the arrival at Tadoussac and describing its early inhabitants, the Montagnais Indians. These fierce and proud people were allied with tribes that lived around Lake Mistassini and Hudson Bay. Exploration of this vast land began with Jacques Cartier, who arrived in 1535, followed by a series of other explorers such as Roberval, Chauvin, and Champlain; Their voyages brought fame and interest to the Tadoussac shores, attracting Basque, Norman, and Breton sailors. As the fur trade flourished, the French established a trading monopoly over Tadoussac which continued for many years. The author does an excellent job of recounting the conflicts and struggles that occurred during this time, as various nations sought to capitalize upon the fur trade, leading to smuggling and conflict. Included are several illustrative historical accounts, such as the alliance that took place between Algonquin and the French. The book is a fascinating read, illuminating the lives of the Native American inhabitants and the European explorers who visited their shores, as well as the fierce competition over the lucrative fur trade that forever changed the landscape and people of Tadoussac.
