Produced by Al Haines "Canada" by Beckles Willson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the rich history and legends of Canada, portraying the valiant heroes and pivotal events that shaped the nation as a saga might be recounted around a tribal fire. It aims to make this history accessible and engaging, particularly for a younger audience, while also appealing to readers of all ages through its compelling narrative. The opening of the book introduces the context of Jacques Cartier's historic voyage in the early 16th century, marking the beginning of French exploration in New France. As Cartier sets sail from St. Malo in 1534 under the commission of King Francis of France, the text contrasts the royal festivities in England with Cartier's perilous journey across the Atlantic. The narrative vividly describes Cartier's encounters with the Indigenous peoples and the landscape of Canada, emphasizing the discoveries and challenges he faced, ultimately establishing the French flag in what is now Canadian territory and laying the groundwork for future expeditions.
