The  images  appearing  here  are  the  best  quality 
possible  considering  the  condition  and  legibility 
of  the  original  copy  and  in  keeping  with  the 
filming  contract  specifications. 


Original  copies  in  printed  paper  covers  are  filmed 
beginning  with  the  front  cover  and  ending  on 
the  last  page  with  a  printed  or  illustrated  impres*

TINUED"), or  the  symbol  V  (meaning  "END"), 
whichever  applies. 

Maps,  plates,  charts,  etc.,  may  be  filmed  at 
different  reduction  ratios.  Those  too  large  to  be 
entirely  included  in  one  exposure  are  filmed 
beginning  in  the  upper  left  hand  corner,  left  to 
right  and  top  to  bottom,  as  many  frames  as 
required.  The  following  diagrams  illustrate  the 
method:

'OR  over  three  hundred  years  the  St.  Lawrence 
River  has  been  the  great  waterway  into  the 
interior  of  the  American  Continent.  It  was 
the  route  by  which  La  Salle,  Marquette,  Joliette, 
Hennepin  and  Dul'hut  penetrated  to  Lake  Michigan, 
although  a  round-about  passage  had  to  be  taken  up 
the  Ottawa  and  Mattawa  Rivers  over  Lake  Nipis- 
sing  into  Lake  Huron  to  avoid  the  hostile  Indians 
below  Lake  Erie.  - 


The  first  known  pilot  on  the  St. 
Lawrence  was  Abraham  Martin,  af- 
ter whom  the  Plains  of  Abraham  at 
Quebec  are  named.  In  the  Jesuit 
Relations,  Abraham  Martin  is  refer- 
red to  as  "dit  I'Ecossais"  or  "called 
the  Scot,"  so  that  in  addition  to  be- 
ing the  first  pilot  of  the  King  of 
France  he  was  also  the  first  known 
Canadian  of  Scotch  descent.  Al- 
though married  to  a  French  woman 
and  very  possibly  born  in  France, 
Abraham  Martin  was  no  doubt  de- 
scended from  one  of  the  numerous 
soldiers  of  fortune  who  fought  in 
the  Army  of  the  French  King,  and 
perhaps  formed  one  of  the  Scots 
Guard  which  became  famous  in  the 
days  of  Louis  the  Eleventh.  Col- 
onel Alexander  Fraser  of  Toronto 
has  evidence  to  show  that  the  fam- 
ily of  Abraham  Martin  belonged  to 
Perthshire  in  Scotland. 
The  Plains  of  Abraham  are  named 
from  the  grant  of  land  which  Abra- 
ham Martin  received  from  Samuel 
dc  Champlain  in  1617  at  the  time  of 
the   settlement   of   Quebec.     Louis 


Hebert,  the  most  famous  of  the  first 
colonists  of  Canada,  received  a  grant 
of  land  alongside  at  the  same  time. 
Abraham  Martin  undoubtedly  cul- 
tivated his  own  farm,  but  apparently 
was  also  a  carpenter  and  took  suffi- 
cient interest  m  shipping  to  get  the 
appointment  of  King  s  Pilot. 
The  Canadian  Pacific  Railway,  in 
view  of  its  ^reat  steamship  inter- 
ests, has  decided  to  erect  a  simple 
but  artistic  Memorial  to  Abraham 
Martin,  which  has  been  designed  by 
Henri  Hebert,  the  well-known 
French-Canadian  sculptor^  who  is 
connected  with  the  original  Louis 
Hebert,  and  thus  is  particularly 
fitted  to  design  the  Memorial.  This 
is  of  granite  and  shows  a  pillar 
crowned  by  a  globe  of  the  world, 
supported  by  thistles.  Carved  in 
low  relief  is  the  Lily  of  France 
rising  out  of  the  sea.  The  inscrip- 
tion IS  in  both  French  and  English. 
An  appropriate  site  has  kindly  been 
granted  by  the  Quebec  Harbour 
Commissioners.  The  architect  is 
J.  Roxburgh  Smith.     ,
