Deservedly compared as a literary achievement to Gibbon's \u003ci\u003eThe Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire\u003c\/i\u003e, Parkman's accomplishment is hardly less awesome than the explorations and adventures he so vividly describes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003ePioneers of France in the New World\u003c\/i\u003e (1865) begins with the early and tragic settlement of the French Huguenots in Florida, then shifts to the northern reaches of the continent and follows the expeditions of Samuel de Champlain up the St. Lawrence River and into the Great Lakes as he mapped the wilderness, organized the fur trade, promoted Christianity among the natives, and waged a savage forest campaign against the Iroquois. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Jesuits in North America in the Seventeenth Century\u003c\/i\u003e (1867) traces the zealous efforts of the Jesuits and other Roman Catholic orders to convert the Native American tribes of North America. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eLa Salle and the Discovery of the Great West\u003c\/i\u003e (1869) records that explorer's voyages on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers and his treks, often alone, across the vast western prairies and through the labyrinthine swamps of Louisiana. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Old Régime in Canada\u003c\/i\u003e (1874) recounts the political struggles among the religious sects, colonial officials, feudal chiefs, royal ministers, and military commanders of Canada. Their bitter fights over the monopoly of the fur trade, the sale of brandy to the natives, the importation of wives from the orphanages and poorhouses of France, and the bizarre fanaticism of religious extremists and their \"incessant supernaturalism\" animate this pioneering social history of early Canada.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e LIBRARY OF AMERICA\u003c\/b\u003e is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation's literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America's best and most significant writing.
