Report of the commissioners, appointed to explore the country between the St. Maurice and the Ottawa, in the year 1830 Book

This is a great resource, a translation of a primary document created shortly after the period in which the Americans left Canada, after the failed invasion. Sir Guy Carleton sought information on how the people of this region acting during the American occupation as well as removing those individuals from positions of leadership if they aided the Americans. While I wish Dr. Gabriel had inputted more of his opinion in the subject, he does a great job at imputting little and allowing the reader to draw their own conclusions. I will be honest, unless this is a subject matter you are truly interested in learning about, either academically or personnaly, you will become bored cery quickly. It is simply a log or record of the events that took place during the occupation. The "Baby Journal" as it became referred to is a great contribution to the better understanding of the period and the common citizen of the Quebec region during the American occupaiton.
