- Title
Pageants, Parades, and Patriotism: Celebrating Champlain in 1909.
- Authors
Dann, Kevin
- Abstract
The event that all this rhetoric celebrated, Samuel de Champlain's voyage up the Richelieu to bitabagw in 1609, was the pivotal point in the tercentenary orators' story — prehistory's surrender to history. With Champlain's arrival, ten thousand years were compressed into a vague aboriginal mist that served only as prelude to the region's seminal event: the struggle for empire between Great Britain and France.
