Synopsis Heroes and Heroines of New France by : E. Charlebois
HEROES AND HEROINES OF NEW FRANCE Heroes and Heroines of New France is an exciting account of the world of early Canadian settlers, dedicated men and women struggling to carve a civilization from a wilderness and the almost insurmountable difficulties they encountered. It reviews the founding of Ville-Marie (Montreal) and the first governor there, Paul de Chomedey, Sieur de Maisonneuve, assisted by the independent Mademoiselle Jeanne Mance, the selfless Mother Marie de l'Incarnation and Sister Marguerite Bourgeoys. We read of the heroic Jesuits, Sulpicians and the Recollets, of the dangerous journey of Father Jacques Marquette and Louis Jolliet down the Mississippi - the massacre of Adam Dollard des Ormeaux and his sixteen companions - the arrival of the Carignan-SaliFre regiment in 1665 - of RenT-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle and his cruel murder - the fierce struggle for Hudson Bay and the treachery of Radisson and Groseilliers - the unsuccessful attacks against Canada by Sir William Phips and the haughty response of Governor Frontenac - the discovery of the mouth of the Mississippi by Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville in 1669 - the expedition against Canada by Sir Hovendon Walker with its disastrous results. Thoroughly researched, HEROES AND HEROINES OF NEW FRANCE is a must read' for the general reader as well as the scholar.

Synopsis Folk Heroes and Heroines around the World by : Graham Seal
This comprehensive collection of folk hero tales builds on the success of the first edition by providing readers with expanded contextual information on story characters from the Americas to Zanzibar. Despite the tremendous differences between cultures and ethnicities across the world, all of them have folk heroes and heroines—real and imagined—that have been represented in tales, legends, songs, and verse. These stories persist through time and space, over generations, even through migrations to new countries and languages. This encyclopedia is a one-stop source for broad coverage of the world's folk hero tales. Geared toward high school and early college readers, the book opens with an overview of folk heroes and heroines that provides invaluable context and then presents a chronology. The book is divided into two main sections: the first provides entries on the major types and themes; the second addresses specific folk tale characters organized by continent with folk hero entries organized alphabetically. Each entry provides cross references as well as a list of further readings. Continent sections include a bibliography for additional research. The book concludes with an alphabetical list of heroes and an index of hero types.

Synopsis Heroes and Heroines by : Mary Giraudo Beck
"Mary Beck’s collection of legends from Tlingit and Haida folklore provides an excellent look at not only the mythology but the value and culture of these Southeast Alaska Natives." - Jan O’Meara Homer News Over uncounted generations the Tlingits and Haidas of Southeast Alaska developed a spoken literature as robust and distinctive as their unique graphic art style, and passed it from the old to the young to ensure the continuity of their culture. Even today when the people gather, now under lamplight rather than the flickering glow from the central fire pit, the ancient myths and legends are told and retold, and they still reinforce the unity of the lineage, and clan and the culture. "Mary Beck opens this collection of legends by setting the tradition scene: ‘…It will be a time of feasting, singing, and dancing, of honoring lineages and of telling ancestral stories.’ In this small, beautifully produced volume, enhanced by the wonderful illustrations by Nancy DeWitt, Becks tells nine traditional ancient myths and legends from the oral literature that are authentic for one group or another from this region, including Fog Woman, Volcano Woman, Bear Mother and The Boy Who Fed Eagles." - Bill Hunt Anchorage Daily News
