She had trouble with him, and I think you could comfort her." "Ah, dat Klazowski!" exclaimed Pere Garneau. "Eet ees not a good man. Many peep' tell me of dat man. He will be no more priest, for certainly. I would see dis woman, poor soul!" "To-night Kalman will be here," said Brown, "and he will interpret for you." "Ah, he ees a fine young man, Kalman.

After a stay of three weeks, Radisson embarked for Amsterdam, which he reached in January, 1654. Benjamin Sulte in Chronique Trifluvienne. It was in August of this same year, 1652, that the governor of Three Rivers was slain by the Iroquois. Parkman gives this date, 1653, Garneau, 1651, L'Abbé Tanguay, 1651; Dollier de Casson, 1651, Belmont, 1653.
A terrible revenge was taken on the French colonists for these infamous acts, as the following article by M. Garneau shows. The situation of the colonists of New France during the critical era of M. Denonville's administration was certainly anything but enviable.
It may be said then, that if Papineau had not systematically opposed the increase of representation, the change in question would have never been thought of in England." Hincks, however, was attacked by the French Canadian historian, Garneau, for having suggested the amendment while in England in 1854.
Garneau and other French-Canadian historians naturally emphasize a different set of facts and explanations. An astonishingly outspoken account of the first siege is given in the anonymous 'Lettre d'un Habitant de Louisbourg', which has been edited, with a translation, by Professor Wrong.

For, taking Brown's canoe, he could paddle down to the Saskatchewan, and thence to the mouth of the Night Hawk Creek, from which point it was only a short walk to camp. It was a most fortunate thing for old Pere Garneau that Kalman had adopted this method of transportation on the very night the old priest had chosen for his trip down the Eagle.
All these were mere abstractions, dull excerpts from some period of remote and unfamiliar history, because that system which gave him his secular education did not include knowledge of his country from an historical standpoint. Macaulay and Alison, Gibbon and Grote, Motley and Bancroft but not yet Garneau or Parkman.
"What in thunder were you waiting for? Those potatoes should have been in ten days ago. It's hardly worth while putting them in now." "Garneau promised to bring them ofer," said Mackenzie, "but you cannot tell anything at all about that man." "Well, we must get them in at once. We must not lose another day. And now let's get to bed.
His La Salle had been written before the discovery of the Radisson Journals; but in subsequent editions he acknowledges in a footnote that Radisson had been to "the Forked River." Even Garneau slurs over Radisson's explorations; but Garneau, too, wrote before the discovery of the Radisson papers.
