This one to get a better understanding of what my ancestor in 1655 was doing in the Quebec/New France area, (and trapping the inland waterways across the great lakes, (I'm 1/64 Algonkian, a tribe that got meshed with the Huron)).
This novel is about a similar emigration (France-Canada) who came to the same area a little later, and it's about what life in the forest was like.
Interesting, my paternal side ancestors came from France to New France, the same area as this book, and then down through New England...the book is by Annie Proulx, and in a Y37 marker DNA test came up with a Denise Proulx as a second cousin...
...lol, somebody from her family was doin the hanky-panky with someone from my family in the woods!

Thanks for the tip The_Arcadian_2, I did it a couple of weeks ago.

Points on nuclear winter from even a "small" exchange could actually be the end of the species, and that we've come so close
so many times...lol, "It can't happen here." Double lol, it might be the end of the world, but it's a less evil end of the world.
The latest Trillion dollar US nuclear weapons upgrade focus' on small nuclear devices which can use small, traditional delivery systems...so if we launch a conventional weapon, the other side would have no way to know if it was nuclear or conventional... the retaliation could be a nuclear retaliation strike on a conventional US first strike.
Besides,
a trillion dollars for nuclear upgrades, don't we have medical bills?
Just what the world needs, another trillion dollars worth of nuclear weapons.
I'm thinking about changing my signature to "Lesser-evilism
is terrorism."
Masters of War - Bob DylanCome you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks
You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly
Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain
You fasten all the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion'
As young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud
You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins
How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
That even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do
Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul
And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand over your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead
"The United States has the largest military budget by far, larger than Russia and China combined. Yet we are adding money to a Pentagon budget already bigger than it was in comparable dollars at the height of the Cold War. That doesn’t make sense.
The U.S. has the most powerful nuclear arsenal in the world. We have weapons that could literally destroy the world, unleashing a deadly nuclear winter. Yet President Barack Obama and now Trump committed to spending over a trillion dollars on another generation of nuclear weapons. That doesn’t make sense."
