The Historical Geography of the St. Maurice Valley : With Special Reference to Urban Occupance

An examination of the past relationship between man and his environment along the Saint Maurice River. From fur trading during the eighteenth century, to logging in the second half of the nineteenth century, to pulp mills and hydro-electric generation in the twentieth century, the author examines how the river was used until the 1940s. Includes information on English speakers who were involved in these enterprises.
