French in the Americas, 1620-1820

Following a short introduction outlining the locations where French colonies were established in the Americas, along with the estimated times, the work presents brief entries on Frenchmen who spent time in what was to become the United States and Canada between 1620 and 1820. Dobson relied entirely on material in the British archives and provides the exact location in the archival source with each entry. Annotation 2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
