Bereik en inhoud
Subseries consists of correspondence, notes and a historical sketch pertaining to the French explorer, René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle and his arrival at Burlington Bay on September 21, 1669, as well as a reprint of a 1669 map outlining his probable route to the Indigenous village Tinawatawa titled, “La Salle’s probable route to Tinawatawa, September 19 to 24, 1669.” The historical sketch was written by Edwin Kirwan Martin, a lawyer and historian with a thorough knowledge of Burlington Bay and the surrounding area. His studies of the Neutral Indians and La Salle’s exploration of the area were prepared for the Wentworth Historical Society, of which he was an active member, in preparation for the unveiling of the monument to La Salle, which was presented by the Wentworth Historical Society on June 9, 1923.
