"Montreal, 1535-1914. Vol. 1. Under the French Régime, 1535-1760" by William Henry Atherton is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work details the history of Montreal from its earliest encounters with European explorers through the development of its society under the French regime. The book's focus is on significant figures and events, beginning with Jacques Cartier's voyages and the interactions with the indigenous people of Hochelaga. At the start of the book, the narrative introduces Jacques Cartier's historic arrival at Hochelaga in 1535. This initial chapter vividly describes the encounters between Cartier and the native inhabitants, highlighting their hospitality and rich culture. Cartier is portrayed as not just an explorer but also as the first historian of Montreal, providing detailed accounts of the land and the people, including their customs, agriculture, and governance. The thrilling sequence of events surrounding Cartier's exploration sets the stage for the broader history of Montreal, encompassing themes of discovery, colonization, and the challenges faced during these formative years.
