The \u003cem\u003eVoyages\u003c\/em\u003e are rich in details about almost every aspect of the region's environment and the people who inhabited it.\u003c\/p\u003eAs Ramsay Cook points out in his introduction, Cartier was more than an explorer; he was also Canada's first ethnographer. His accounts provide a wealth of information about the native people of the region and their relations with each other. Indirectly, he also reveals much about himself and about sixteenth-century European attitudes and beliefs. These memoirs recount not only the French experience with the Iroquois, but alo the Iroquois' discovery of the French.\u003cp\u003eIn addition to Cartier's \u003cem\u003eVoyages\u003c\/em\u003e, a slightly amended version of H.P. Biggar's 1924 text, the volume includes a series of letters relating to Cartier and the Sieur de Roberval, who was in command of cartier on the last voyage. Many of these letters appear for the first time in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRamsay Cook's introduction, 'Donnacona Discovers Europe, ' rereads the documents in the light of recent scholarship as well as from contemporary perspectives in order to understand better the viewpoints of Cartier and the native people with whom he came into contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRamsay Cook\u003c\/strong\u003e is a professor emeritus in the Department of History at York University and the former general editor of \u003cem\u003eThe Dictionary of Canadian Biography\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 177\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 8.52 x 6.54 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 03, 1993\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44071455785094,"sku":"9780802060006","price":78.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0664\/3446\/5926\/files\/2GErDHVJWt9780802060006.webp?v=1781577026","url":"https:\/\/profixdiy.com\/products\/the-voyages-of-jacques-cartier-paperback","provider":"ProFix Home Repair","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
