Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the captivating story of the first permanent European settlement in what is now Canada. The author takes us back to the early 17th century, to the shores of Port Royal, where French explorers and colonists clashed with the native Micmac people. We learn about their encounters, the challenges they faced, and the unique blend of cultures that emerged. The book details the struggle for control of the region between the French and the English, with accounts of battles, treaties, and betrayals. We witness the arrival of Jesuit priests, the conversion of the Micmac chief Membertou, and the creation of the first shipyard and grist mill in North America. The book also sheds light on the early days of social life in the colony, with accounts of the Order of Good Times, a unique social club that brought together French colonists and their native allies.
