A Trip Through The Lakes Of North America

Excerpt from A Trip Through the Lakes of North America: Embracing a Full Description of the St. Lawrence River, Together With All the Principal Places on Its Mouth: Commerce of the Lakes, Etc;; Forming Altogether a Complete Guide for the Pleasure Traveller and Emigrant In presenting to the public the present volume, entitled "A Trip through the Lakes of North America," embracing a description of the St. Lawrence River, etc., the compiler wishes to return his sincere thanks for the liberal patronage and the many kind favors received from those who have doubly assisted him in his labors, by contributing reliable and useful information in regard to the many interesting localities in which the great Valley of the Lakes and the St. Lawrence abounds - affording altogether many new and interesting facts of great importance to the Tourist who may wish to visit the Inland Seas of America, or the noble St. Lawrence, at any point from its source to its mouth - the tour being one of the most healthy, picturesque, and wonderful on the face of the globe, when viewed, as a whole, from the Lake of the Woods to the Gulf of St. Lawrence. In the arrangement and compilation of this work every attempt has been made to render the information it contains concise and truthful - taking up popular lines of travel as they now exist, and faithfully describing places and objects of interest as they occur on the route. We thus start from Niagara Falls, or Toronto, situated on Lake Ontario, and describe in succession Lake Simcoe, the Georgian Bay and North Channel, arriving at Saut Ste Marie, the gateway of the Lake Superior country. Here, among the Mineral Regions, may be found objects of interest sufficient to induce the intelligent traveler to spend some weeks or months; and if, added to this, should be included a Trip to the Upper Mississippi Valley, an entire season could be profitably employed.
