The French In The Heart Of America is a historical book written by John Finley. It provides a detailed account of the French exploration and colonization of the central regions of North America, particularly the Mississippi River Valley, during the 17th and 18th centuries. The book describes the French explorers, traders, and missionaries who ventured into the heart of America, how they interacted with the Native American tribes, and how they established settlements that eventually became the foundation for the modern-day cities of St. Louis, New Orleans, and Quebec. The author also sheds light on the political and economic factors that motivated the French to expand their territory in America and how their presence shaped the cultural and social landscape of the region. The French In The Heart Of America is a well-researched and informative book that offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of North America and the role played by the French in its development.This remaining path is the tenuous trail through the fields of wild onions that led from the river or creek called Chicago (the Garlic River--Riviere de l'Ail) into a stream that still bears a French name but of a pronunciation which a Parisian would not accept--the Des Plaines. This path, too, traversed a marsh and flat prairie so level that in freshet the water ran both ways and was once in the bed of a river that ran from the lake to the gulf. But it has been hallowed beyond all others of these trails, for it was beside this portage that Marquette suffered through a winter, detained there by a serious sickness when on his way to minister to the Illinois Indians a hundred miles below. His hut was the first European habitation upon its site--the site of the future city of Chicago.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

"Dr. Finley's book is a tribute, and a tribute passionate and earnest, to France. The heart of America to which he puts his ear is not the Mississippi Valley, but the actual pulsing organ which is the seat of our national life today."--New York Times, 1915An examination of the French legacy in the United States, this compendium explores the multifarious ways in which the French influenced the American landscape and identity between the sixteenth and twentieth centuries. Comprised primarily of a series of lectures the author delivered during a speaking circuit throughout France at the start of the twentieth century, the work honors the French explorers and settlers who made their lasting imprint on the inner waterways of America, down the St. Lawrence through the Mississippi River Valley to the Gulf of Mexico.Author John Finley suggests that the early French adventurers--Cartier, Champlain, and La Salle--imbued America with her sense of democracy, even more so than did the English settlers. An examination of the important French contributions to the culture of the United States, including place names, language, and governmental structures, deepens Finley's erudite homage to the French influence in America.
