Kedl Symbolic structure housing the remains of the blast furnace Parks Canada / E. Kedl Foreword Canada’s national historic sites, national parks and national marine con- servation areas offer Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast unique opportunities to experience and understand our wonderful country. They are places of learning, recreation and fun where Canadians can connect with our past and appreciate the natural, cultural and social forces that shaped Canada. From our smallest national park to our most visited national historic site to our largest national marine conservation area, each of these places offers Canadians and visitors unique opportunities to experience Canada. These places of beauty, wonder and learning are valued by Canadians - they are part of our past, our present and our future. Our Government’s goal is to ensure that each of these special places is conserved. We see a future in which these special places will further Canadians’ appreciation, understanding and enjoyment of Canada, the economic well- being of communities, and the vitality of our society. Our Government’s vision is to build a culture of heritage conservation in Canada by offering Canadians exceptional opportunities to experience our natural and cultural heritage. These values form the foundation of the new management plan for Forges du Saint-Maurice National Historic Site of Canada. I offer my appreciation to the many thoughtful Canadians who helped to develop this plan, par- ticularly to our dedicated team from Parks Canada, and to all those local organizations and individuals who have demonstrated their good will, hard work, spirit of co-operation and extraordinary sense of stewardship. In this same spirit of partnership and responsibility, I am pleased to approve the Forges du Saint-Maurice National Historic Site of Canada Management Plan.

Through my research I have found that both entities follow a very similar timeline with highs and lows coming around the same time in the same province; although, I have not found any direct linkage between the two. My analysis begins around 1837 and continues through present day, and by analyzing the histories of each movement demonstrates clearly that both movements followed a unique and similar timeline.

  • 1609: Samuel De Champlain Reaches the Lake
    1609: Samuel de Champlain Reaches the Lake Champlain’s Battle Scene 1609.Samuel de Champlain ca. 1613. 1609: Quadricentennial Curriculum Samuel de Champlain Reaches the Lake: 1 Background Samuel de Champlain By Joseph-André Senécal Samuel de Champlain was born at Brouage around 1570. There is no known portrait of the Father of New France and little is known about his family. His father and uncle were sea captains and he informed the French court that the art of navigation had attracted him from his “tender youth.” We do not know where he learned the many skills (navigation; cartography; drawing; geography) that prepared him for his North American experience. In all likelihood Champlain learned about sailing at Brouage, a port on the French Atlantic coast, a key stopover for ships of all nations who needed to take on cargoes of salt before sailing for the fishing grounds off Newfoundland and the coast of New England. Concerning his military skills, we know that he served as a soldier in the French province of Brittany where Catholic forces allied with Spain opposed Henry IV as the rightful king of France. From 1595 to 1598, he served in the army of Henry IV with the title of sergeant quartermaster. His uncle was also involved in this final chapter of the war of religions and, at the conclusion of hostilities, we find them reunited at the port of Blavet where the two sailed for Spain in 1598. From Spain Champlain joined a fleet bound for the Spanish West Indies, a voyage that took him two years and a half.

Estuvo lleno de guerras y revoluciones, pero también asociado a la actividad intelectual y cambios sociales. El primer asentamiento fran- cés permanente fue en 1608, fecha de la fundación de la ciudad de Québec. La provincia homónima está conside- rada también como el lugar de nacimiento de las enseñanzas de química y metalurgia en Canadá. La única meta- lurgia en la Nueva Francia y la primera en Canadá fueron las Forjas de San Mauricio. Su historia se remonta a 1667 cuando se descubre la mena de hierro en los aledaños de Los Tres Ríos. El primer intento de producción de hierro fue en 1733. Los hornos operaron durante un siglo y medio, hasta 1883. El horno tenía una altura de 9,1 metros y un diámetro interno de 0,76 metros. La mena de Los Tres Ríos era limonita, que se cargaba en el horno junto con caliza y carbón. Con tres toneladas de mena se obtenía una de hierro. La producción media ascendía a 4 tonela- das. En 1973 el Gobierno Federal de Canadá desarrolló en el entorno un parque histórico y se convirtió en una nota- ble atracción turística. En 1988 se acuñó un dólar de plata conmemorativo.

    D’IBERVILLE, CHAUSSEGROS DE LÉRY, THE LATERRIÈRES AND TOCQUEVILLE: QUEBEC THROUGH THE PRISM OF ABSOLUTISM, THE ENLIGHTENMENT AND ROMANTICISM DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Virginia Rae Donovan, B.A., M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Professor Jean-François Fourny, Adviser Approved by Professor Mihaela Marin ______________________________ Professor Jennifer Willging Adviser Graduate Program in French & Italian Copyright by Virginia Rae Donovan May 29, 2007 ABSTRACT Although Pierre Le Moyne d’Iberville, Gaspard-Joseph Chaussegros de Léry, Pierre de Sales Laterrière, Pierre-Jean de Sales Laterrière, and Alexis de Tocqueville were all observers of Canada, their views of Quebec differ greatly one from another because they were from different generations. D’Iberville (1661 – 1706), Quebec’s first national hero, lived during the age of classicism, the reign of Louis XIV and the absolute monarchy. He provides a politico-military perspective of Quebec. Gaspard-Joseph Chaussegros de Léry (1682 – 1751), Quebec’s chief military engineer and architect, lived and worked in Quebec during a time of transition between the absolute monarchy and the Enlightenment. He provides an esthetic perspective of Quebec. Pierre de Sales Laterrière [1743?(47) – 1815], Quebec’s first memorialist, landed on the shores of the St. Lawrence in 1766 when the Enlightenment was in full bloom. He provides a scientific/literary perspective of Quebec. His son, Pierre-Jean de Sales Laterrière (1789 – 1834), wrote the first treatise that defended French Canadians under British control and domination. His life also encompassed the Romantic Movement in all its glory.

Printed in the United States of America v^ 1— J — 7./ SPECIAL INTRODUCTION The history of Western Civilization be- gins in a conflict with the Orient, a conflict of which it maybe the end is not yet. But the routes between East and West have been trodden by the caravans of trade more often even than by the feet of armies. The treasures of the East were long brought overland to Alexandria, or Constantinople, or the cities of the Levant, and thence dis- tributed to Europe by the galleys of Genoa or of Venice. But when the Turk placed himself astride the Bosporus, and made Egypt his feudatory, new routes had to be found. In the search for these were made the three greatest voyages in history, those of Columbus, of Vasco da Gama, and greatest of all—of Magellan. In his search for the riches of Cipangu Columbus stumbled upon America. The great Genoese lived and died under the il- lusion that he had reached the outmost verge of Asia ; and though even in his life- time men realized that what he had found :was no less than a new world, America 5444:61 INTRODUCTION was long looked on as an unwelcome ob- stacle of unknown extent across the path of the Eastern trader.
