Abstract
The Discovering Canada series presents information, stories and activities to make Canadian history interesting to young people. Each of the eleven illustrated books focuses on a theme in Canadian history and includes primary source quotes, biographical details, vocabulary, activities and games. Readers will meet some of the brave men and women who first settled the New World and helped found the colony of New France: Cartier, Marie La Tour, La Salle and Madeleine de Verchères. They will learn about how people worked, dressed, ate and survived in New France. They will discover the King's Daughters, who came over from Europe on Bride's Ships, and about the powerful seigneurs, who ruled vast domains along the St. Lawrence River.
