A History Of Quebec, Its Resources And People (Volume I)

By C.E. Fryer, Laurent-Olivier David, Benjamin Sulte

Book Overview

To understand Quebec is to trace the meeting of river, forest, and nation across centuries of change. Quebec begins as a frontier. In A History Of Quebec, Its Resources And People (Volume I), pioneering historian Benjamin Sulte offers a sweeping yet intimate Quebec history reference that sets the colony within the colonial New France era and the emerging Quebec province 19th century society. Blending narrative, analysis, and keen observation, this foundational Quebec history volume 1 speaks both to curious general readers and to those searching French Canadian history books that illuminate place, people, and memory. As a landmark Canadian regional history book and part of the wider Canadian provincial history series, Sulte's work interweaves political events with everyday experience, charting settlement patterns, institutions, and the unfolding economic development of Quebec. Detailed attention to land, trade, and industry makes it an essential guide to Quebec natural resources history and to the forces that forged French Canadian communities. Clear, vivid prose and carefully organised detail make this volume invaluable for Canadian history students, teachers, and genealogy and local history researchers seeking reliable context for families, towns, and cultural traditions across the province. A leading voice in French Canadian heritage history, Sulte preserves early accounts, regional memories, and perspectives now central to understanding Quebec's past. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, attractive to serious researchers and classic-literature enthusiasts alike.
