Gave this book 3 stars mainly because it is a product of its time. It was originally published in 1920 and the wording and ideas expressed reflect that period. First Nations are "savages" and the author assumes a world view that is no longer active. However, for a precise overview of the whole period it is worth reading.
Fascinating account of French Canada. I also gained a lot of insight on French culture. Everything was centralized in the colony and the King had direct control over appointments and goings on. Helps me understand why Djibouti is the way it is.
