Gradually the ferocious red-man with his musket and tomahawk has been driven from his lodges and wigwams in the east, to make way for bustling cities {299} and thriving towns and villages. The lakes and rivers, where the birch-bark canoes of the savage, where the daring fur-hunters once thronged, laden with the spoils of the forest, now bear on their bosoms hundreds of busy steam-boats, freighted with the produce of farm and orchard and factory. The lonely, dangerous trails along which Champlain, Frontenac, Lasalle, and Verendrye led their men have given way to steel highroads which traverse the entire Continent. Everywhere the spirit of progress has smiled upon the land, and the farms, orchards, and homesteads of Canada smile upward to the clear heavens in return. Do not forget that Romance, though unseen by the bodily eye, never dies. It is as beautiful as the landscape or the setting sun. Search for it in the annals of the past, and each grey lake, every simple river, both hill and dale, have their stirring story to tell of valour and heroic sacrifice, of noble endurance, of patriotic deed. Canada was not easy in the making; much blood flowed and many loyal hearts were broken before the Great Dominion arose. {301} INDEX NDX Abenaki tribe, 139, 157, 158 Abercrombie, General, 209, 210 Abraham, Plains of, 217 Acadia, 18, 28, 101, 159, 179, 184, 187, 190 Aix-la-Chapelle, Treaty of, 178 Albany, Fort, 118, 142 Alexander, Sir W., 50, 52 Algonquin tribe, 7, 31, 32, 33, 43, 48, 77 Allan, E., 239 Allumette Island, 34 American revolutionary war, 247 American war of 1812, 262 Amherst, General, 208, 214 Andros, Governor, 128 Annahotaha (chief), 81 Annapolis, 20, 159, 169, 177 Anson, Admiral, 178 Anville, Duke d', 176 Argall, S., 26, 27 Arnold, B., 239, 245, 246 Asgill, Captain, 250 Assiniboines tribe, 104 Avaugour, Marquis d', 84 Bailey, Governor, 150, 152 Barre, La, Governor, 113, 122, 123 Beauséjour, Fort, 184, 188, 198 Biard, Father, 24 Biencourt, Baron de, 24, 27, 51 Big Jaw (chief), 123 Bigot, F., 193, 203, 211, 230, 231 Bochat, Du Plessis, 77 Boerstler, 269 Bois-Brulés, 276, 278, 281, 294 Borgne, Le, 99, 100 Boscawen, Admiral, 209 Boucher, 282 Bougainville, General, 217, 221 Bouillé, Helen (wife of Champlain), 33, 41, 66 Bouquet, Colonel, 236 Braddock, General, 196, 197, 199 Bradstreet, Colonel, 210 Brant, Mollie, 200 Brébeuf, J. de, 59, 71 Breda, Treaty of, 101 British Columbia, 12 Brock, I., 263, 264, 265 Burton, Colonel, 219 Cabot, John, 3, 12 Cabot, Sebastian, 3 Cadet, 231 Cadillac, La Motte, 166 Caen, W. and E. de, 43, 45, 49 Callières, De, Governor, 124, 126, 131, 154, 155, 156 Canada, 3, 6, 14; first colonisation of, 16; 18, 165, 203; and the American Revolution, 239, 256 Cape Breton, 50, 163, 166 Carleton, Sir G., 239, 243, 244, 257 Caron, J. le, 36 Cartier, Jacques, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9; dies, 10; 30 Cayuga tribe, 31, 182 Célèron, Chevalier, 182 Chaleurs, Baie de, 4
