This Is The Second Of Two Library Of America Volumes (The Companion Volume Here) Presenting, In Compact Form, All Seven Parts Of Francis Parkmans Monumental Narrative History Of The Struggle For Control Of The American Continent. Thirty Years In The Writing, Parkmans History Of The American Forest Is An Accomplishment Hardly Less Awesome Than The Explorations And Adventures He So Vividly Describes. The Story Reaches Its Climax With The Fatal Confrontation Of Two Great Commanders At Quebecs Plains Of Abrahamand A Daring Stratagem That Would Determine The Future Of A Continent.Count Frontenac And New France Under Louis Xiv (1877) Details How France Might Have Won Her Imperial Struggle With England. Frontenac, A Courtier Who Was Made Governor Of New France By That Most Sagacious Of Monarchs, Oversaw The Colonys Brightest Era Of Growth And Influence. Had Canadas Later Governors Possessed His Administrative Skill And Personal Force, His Sense Of Diplomacy And Political Talent, Or His Grasp Of The Uses Of Power In A Modern World, The English Colonies To The South Might Have Become Part Of What Frontenac Saw As A Continental Scheme Of French Dominion.Englands American Colonies Flourished, While France, In Both The Old World And The New, Declined From Its Greatness Of The Late Seventeenth Century. Conflict Over The Developing Western Regions Of North America Erupted In A Series Of Colonial Wars. As Narrated By Parkman In A Halfcentury Of Conflict (1892), These American Campaigns, While Only Part Of A Larger, Global Struggle, Prepared The Colonies For The American Revolution.In Montcalm And Wolfe (1884) Parkman Describes The Fatal Confrontation Of The Two Great French And English Commanders Whose Climactic Battle Marked The End Of French Power In America.
