"Historic Handbook of the Northern Tour" by Francis Parkman is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work presents a collection of narratives detailing significant events from colonial history linked to tourist attractions in Canada and the northern United States, focusing on places such as Lakes George and Champlain, Niagara, Montreal, and Quebec. The opening of the book introduces readers to the region’s early exploration and battles, particularly revolving around Samuel de Champlain’s expedition against the Iroquois in 1609, marking the beginning of the French and Indian conflicts. It vividly describes their journey as they paddle through the uninhabited land filled with danger, recounting Champlain’s determination and the dream that forewarns them of impending battles. As the narrative unfolds, the text sets the stage for a historical account that blends adventure, exploration, and the complexities of colonial military engagements, enticing readers interested in the dramatic intersections of nature, history, and human conflict.
