Quote: The second route was up the Ottawa, or Grand, River, then west along the Mattawa River, across Lake Nipissing and along the French River, to Georgian Bay and Lake Huron and finally through to Lake Superior (see map 2).29 Most of this route was upstream when travel-ing west (although the section bet ween Lake Nipissing and Georgian Bay was downstream). It was thus much faster to travel east to Montreal than it was to travel west to the interior.

Phase Four

Fact 1 Paragraph: "Mongle’s story res-onates with those of thousands of other families in the St. Lawrence val-ley from the 1680s until well into the 1830s. Sons and husbands decided to leave their families to join the fur trade for extra money mainly because their farms were producing very little above subsistence and feudal tithes. They met with recruiting agents and signed contracts, or engagements, to work in the summer months transporting goods and furs between Montreal and the western tip of Lake Superior or to work year-round in the trade far away in leaving home."

Fact 1 Summary: Families in the St. Lawrence desired to better their income, so they decided to participate in the fur trade, that supplied a large resource for the fur trade.

Fact 2 Paragraph:

Article Section:

Champlain led the expansion while centralizing the French efforts. As native peoples had the primary role of suppliers in the fur trade, Champlain quickly created alliances with the Algonquin, Montagnais (who were located in the territory around Tadoussac), and most importantly, the Huron to the west. The latter, an Iroquoian-speaking people, served as middlemen between the French on the Saint Lawrence and nations in the pays d'en haut. Fact: Families in the St. Lawrence desired to better their income, so they decided to participate in the fur trade, that supplied a large resource for the fur trade.
