America's French Heritage

America's French Heritage

A brief history of the French presence in North America. English translation of "Une Amérique française." From the text: "When we think of the French contribution to the history of the United States, we immediately think to Lafayette, especially in the bicentennial year of American Independence. We might be prone to forget that a large part of the American territory was, in the first place, French: discovered, mapped, and colonized as such from Montreal to Quebec....A work designed for the greater public and for all types of students, 'America's French Heritage' is a vast portrait illustrating the contribution that, for more than 350 years, millions of coureurs de bois, voyageurs, missionaries, colonists, businesspeople, workers, intellectuals, and others from France and Canada have brought AND still bring to the United States...."
