enter the Fourth Book by the old military gateway of
Quebec, through whosemassiveportals throngthe stirringmemo-
ries of two hundred and seventy years. The fearless explora-
tions of Champlain, La Salle, Joliet, and their gay voyageurs

bold adventurers came over to win the American wilds, and
how the red-cross flag came to float over so much of this broad
earth.
Such has been the life of most of our pioneers. This Book
is designed to be read by their children and their grandchil-
dren. Can it do better than reflect the stages of our national
