For further discussions of these explorations and of the various other topics dealt with in this book the reader may be referred to several works in the Chronicles of Canada (32 vols.  Toronto, 1914-1916), namely, to Stephen Leacock’s Dawn of Canadian History and Mariner of St. Malo; Charles W. Colby’s Founder of New France and The Fighting Governor; Thomas Chapais’s Great Intendant; Thomas G. Marquis’s Jesuit Missions, also to Seigneurs of Old Canada and Coureurs-de-Bois by the author of the present volume.  In each of these books, moreover, further bibliographical references covering the several topics are provided.

The series known as Canada and Its Provinces (22 vols. and index, Toronto, 1914) contains accurate and readable chapters upon every phase of Canadian history, political, military, social, economic, and literary.  The first two volumes of this series deal with the French regime.  Mention should also be made of the biographical series dealing with The Makers of Canada (22 vols.  Toronto, 1905-1914) and especially to the biographies of Champlain, Laval, and Frontenac which this series includes among its earlier volumes.

The writings of Francis Parkman, notably his Pioneers of New France, Old Regime in Canada, Jesuits in North America, La Salle and the Discovery of the Great West, and Count Frontenac are of the highest interest and value.  Although given to the world nearly two generations ago, these volumes still hold an unchallenged supremacy over all other books relating to this field of American history.
