The vast territory included most of the Great Lakes region, expanding west and south over time into the North American continent as the French had explored.

She continued: "The book is something between a novel and reminiscences, rather formless and with an overcrowded canvas; and life bubbles up through it at every part." A reviewer in ''The West Australian'' was also impressed with the boo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
