Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Radisson the Voyageur a Verse Drama in Four Acts For over two hundred years the two white men who first pierced the wilderness beyond Lake Superior were overlooked by historians, - their names forgotten, their exploit unknown. Manuscript records of unquestionable authenticity now give the honor to Pierre Esprit Radisson and his brother-in-law, the Sieur des Groseilliers. They were trappers and traders, not scientific explorers, and they were apparently quite careless of fame. Such discoveries as were incidental to their avocation were all in the day's work. But their adventures were many and dramatic, and Radisson's journal shows that he, at least, was keenly sensitive to the romantic aspects of their work and to the wonder element of the wilderness. There is no historical record of any love adventure, such as is included in the play, but - Radisson was twenty, and a Frenchman. The other incidents in the drama follow his story closely, and many of the speeches are merely paraphrased from his journal. The play as presented is arranged for reading, but the notes at the back make it available for amateur out-of-door performance, or for use as the basis of an Indian Pageant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voyageur Classics is a series of special versions of Canadian classics, with added material and new introductions. In this bundle we find five classic works of twentieth century fiction, drama and poetry, a period when Canada’s literary identity was shaped. Originally published in 1962, The Silence on the Shore is considered by many critics to be renowned Hugh Garner’s best, most ambitious novel. Originally published in 1967, Combat Journal for Place d’Armes was initially met with shock and anger by most reviewers but has become a literary touchstone. The Donnellys tells the tale of a secret society and a massacre that shocked the Canadian public, a story overlooked by the artistic community until Reaney’s 1975 play elevated the events to the level of legend. In This Poem I Am presents the best of poet Robin Skelton’s adventurous poetry. And Exploration Literature is a groundbreaking collection of early writing inspired by the opening of a continent, an entry point into the beginnings of a literate response to the awe and wonder inspired by an unfolding geography.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Infinity of Nations explores the formation and development of a Native New World in North America. Until the middle of the nineteenth century, indigenous peoples controlled the vast majority of the continent while European colonies of the Atlantic World were largely confined to the eastern seaboard. To be sure, Native North America experienced far-reaching and radical change following contact with the peoples, things, and ideas that flowed inland following the creation of European colonies on North American soil. Most of the continent's indigenous peoples, however, were not conquered, assimilated, or even socially incorporated into the settlements and political regimes of this Atlantic New World. Instead, Native peoples forged a New World of their own. This history, the evolution of a distinctly Native New World, is a foundational story that remains largely untold in histories of early America. Through imaginative use of both Native language and European documents, historian Michael Witgen recreates the world of the indigenous peoples who ruled the western interior of North America. The Anishinaabe and Dakota peoples of the Great Lakes and Northern Great Plains dominated the politics and political economy of these interconnected regions, which were pivotal to the fur trade and the emergent world economy. Moving between cycles of alliance and competition, and between peace and violence, the Anishinaabeg and Dakota carved out a place for Native peoples in modern North America, ensuring not only that they would survive as independent and distinct Native peoples but also that they would be a part of the new community of nations who made the New World.
