| Publisher Description: 1885. Zigzag Journeys in Acadia and New France A Summer's Journey of the Zigzag Club Through the Historic Fields of the Early French Settlements of America. From the Preface: The aim of the Zigzag books is to awaken an interest in the history, geography, and political condition of each country of which they treat, by means of a narrative of supposed travel, that makes a visit to interesting places the purpose of the young travelers. It is hoped that the light narrative, with its pictures, legends, and interpolated stories, may awaken an interest in the young mind that will lead to the reading of more solid books on the same countries and topics, as maturer years follow the story-loving period of youth. Contents: A Zigzag Journey in New France (Canada); A Proposed Journey in Search of the Stories and Legends of New France; The Zigzag Club's Songs and Stories; Cardinal Richelieu's Dream of New France; Charlie Noble's Concert; For St. John; Annapolis (Port Royal); To the Land of Evangeline; Halifax and Louisburg; Tales of the St. Lawrence; Quebec; Montreal; and Toronto.
