Reseña del libro "Interesting History of the Saint Lawrence River (en Inglés)"
"St Lawrence: a river in southeast Canada, flowing northeast from Lake Ontario, forming part of the boundary between New York and Ontario, and emptying into the Gulf of St Lawrence. 760 miles (1225 km) long. Gulf of, an arm of the Atlantic between southeast Canada and Newfoundland." http: //dictionary.reference.com/browse/st--lawrence-river Lewis Evans; Geographical, historical, political, philosophical and mechanical essays. The first, containing An analysis of a general map of the middle British colonies in America; 2nd edition; B Franklin and D Hall, MDCCLV. And sold by R&J Dodsley, London; 1755 Lewis Evans writes: "ST LAURENCE is navigable with Shipping, by a very difficult Channel, and much Fog, to Quebec. The Navigation thence to Montreal is in Shallops; and through there is Depth of Water, and a good Flood to assist as far as Trois Rivieres, which is half Way; the Passage is commonly five or six Days with a fair Wind, by Reason of sunken Rocks in the Tide Way, and the Shallowness of Lake St Pierre, compelling them to lie by a Nights; and the Rapidity of the Current thence to Montreal. From this to the Anise of la Galette, the River is full of Falls and Rifts for forty Leagues, where the Canoe Men are often obliged to carry over Land, and to wade in several Places. The River thence to Fort Frontenac, is very gentle and easily passed with Boats or Canoes. Though it bears the Name of St Laurence no further, I shall proceed with the Water that supplies it."
