A painful read; the author's low opinions of almost everyone not named Lewis Cass overwhelm any value from his research. The early French settlers, according to this book, were incompetent and lazy, and didn't understand democracy. The British who succeeded them were devious and untrustworthy.

Gave up after about 60 pages.
