E75. Kingdom of Saguenay

View descriptionShare

The Kingdom of Saguenay was a legendary, mythical, fanciful country rich in gold and diamonds supposedly located, according to the Natives, inland of present-day Quebec City. Adventurer Jacques Cartier tried in vain to reach this realm on several occasions. From 1541-43 France attempted to Colonize Canada at the Cap Rouge settlement along the interior of the St.-Lawrence river valley. Cartier’s superior was Jean-François Roberval, a French military officer appointed viceroy of Canada by King Francis the First. Enjoy this ENCORE Presentation!
