This book revolves around Louis, Count Frontenac. Excerpt: High above St. Lawrence stood Louis, Count Frontenac, alone, soon after he arrived at Quebec as Governor. From a window of the UChâteau St. Louis, he was looking across the vast stream which is more renowned than any other in that hemisphere. As his eyes scanned the immense flood and saw the exquisite coloring of the foliage on the farther shore in the bright sunlight, his cheek flushed with admiration. He was now fifty-two but in years only. His mind was twenty-five, his body framed to endure hardships and trials, and these were before him an immense degree.
