JOHN TROTWOOD MOORE 
“NOTABLE." 
“One cannot rise from reading this 
book without feeling that it i.s a notable 
contribution to current literature.” 
—Philadelphia Inquirer. 
“Thoroughly original, fresh, earnest, 
sparkling with wit and humor.” 
—Chicago Record-Herald. 
“CLASSIC." 
“A book which is destined to become 
one of the gems of modern novels. The 
plot is deep, strong, graphically told and will 
not be forgotten as that of many passing 
novels, but will be cherished as a classic, 
as a story of right against wrong which 
is destined to bring about a great change 
in the child labor question.” 
—Birmingham News. 
was known as Ville Marie. The pio¬ 
neers waged daily war against the Iro- .* 
quois, and on the spot where the monu¬ 
ment stands Maisonneuve performed a 
remarkable exploit of arms against the 
savages. Among his company of set¬ 
tlers was a hardy scout named Crosse, 
certain jesuit Fathers and a noble wo¬ 
man named Jeanne Mance, who minis¬ 
tered to the Indian captives and whose 
name became a synonym for self-sacri- ‘ 
ficing benefactions. In the four sub¬ 
sidiary figures of bronze which M. 
Hebert has placed at the four corners of 
the base he has recorded imperishably 
the heroic deeds of the old French scout, 
the Catholic missionaries and the brave 
woman, as well as the virile traits of the 
aborigines, typified by a splendid speci¬ 
men of the Iroquois braves. The 
crouching figure of Jeanne Adance, -■ 
who is depicted in the act of binding up 
the wounds of an Indian boy, is a veri- ' 
table revelation of beauty. In another 
way the figure of Crosse, the scout, is an ^ 
unequalled type of the hardy and in¬ 
domitable woodsman, or coureur de hots, 
who stoops to conceal himself behind •* 
the shrubbery, as, with his rifle ready in • 
one hand, he holds hack his too-eager * 
dog with the other. These two figures ■ 
are unspeakably fine — the one all tender- » 
ness, henignancy and charm; the other ' 
breathing martial nerve, resolution and ' 
fire. No one but a modern artist of' , 
French blood could have modelled these ' 
figures. One’s admiration for the Gal- . 
lie race revives at sight of such fine work, • 
and the chief figure, the portrait-statue ■ 
which crowns the monument, might be 
cited as the embodiment of many of the 
qualities that have made the race great— * 
its keen intelligence, alert, fearless and 
dashing: its initiative, its imaginative¬ 
ness and its romanticism . — Boston Tran¬
