Songs Upon the Rivers - The Buried History of the French-Speaking Canadiens and Métis from the Great Lakes and the Mississippi Across to the Pacific

Before the Davie Crockets and Daniel Boones, the French had pushed far west and north establishing trade and kin networks across America. They founded settlements that would become great cities, but their history has been largely buried. In this seminal work, the authors scrutinize primary sources and uncover the alliances, organic links and métissage, or mixing, between early French settlers and voyageurs and the indigenous nations.
