Reviews

The range of this book is vast in terms of both of its topics - transport and communications by land, freshwater routes, and sea - and its geographical scope. H-Net Reviews A sophisticated treatment of the French Atlantic - the patterns it reveals are important and distinctive. The Northern Mariner/Le Marin du Nord Banks's material is fascinating and his writing engaging - the book is a delight to read. The Canadian Historical Review Histories that compare and contrast the different parts of the French colonial world are few and far between. Banks is to be congratulated for having undertaken an ambitious inter-colonial study. A.J.B Johnston, author of Life and Religion at Louisbourg
