Excerpt from A Short History of Carleton County: New BrunswickPage Fivereader their lies a well of knowledge on the subject in the fascinating writ ings of Francis Parkman. In this brief and running sketch, one can only pause to remark that the impress of French civilization has been left on the physical outline of the country, not alone, in the name of the great river which ¿ows through its midst, originally Riviere S. Jean, but also in the smaller streams which still carry the names of Presqu'ile and (riviere) or River des Chutes. It is to be hoped that these designations will be allowed to remain and that, in an iconoclastic age, they will not be obliterated to make room for memorials to plutocratic magnates, who would otherwise soon be forgotten. Two names, indeed, there are that might well be ap plied to future settlements or locations, suggested by mention of Archdeacon W. 0. Raymond and Dr. W. F Ganong, since by their research and writings they have contributed invaluable material dealing with the history of this part of the province.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
