Here the first ships ever built on the continent un- folded their sails to the winds of the Atlantic, and here the first mill was 'stream, The founders of the colony, turned by the waters of the nearby de Monts, Champlain and Poutrin- court, had passed to their reward be- fore the Mayflower came to New Eng- land. The French had come in 1604, and built their first Acadian fort on a site now marked by a cairn some seven miles from the present Annap- olis Royal. : "Six times from then to its final passing under the British dominion in 1710 Port Royal changed hands be- tween the rival powers. In 1613 it fell for the first time to an expedition from Jamestown, Va. under Captain Samuel Argall. In 1635 it was again in French hands and the second fort of Fort Royal was erected on the pre- sent site of Fort Anne. A part of the rock and timber foundations of one of the bastions of this building is still to be seen. The present structure was built in 1695 and on its final occupa- tion by General Francis Nicholson's forces from New Eigland in 1710, its name was changed to Fort Anne in honor of the reigning sovereign. ~ Larges Part Still in Good shope Fort Anne is situated at the en- trance of the world-famed Annapolis Valley amid scenes of the greatest beauty. It was built as a square earth- work, with four bastions,' and sur: rounded by a dry ditch and embank- ment for musketeers, and a large part of it is still in good shape. The fort and 'the surrounding land have been are few more interesting or significant sites on the continent, No othek has seen more dramatic and momentous [events. The departure of the Acadi: ans in the expulsion of 1766--immor- talized by Longfellow in 'Evangeline' --was an incident in its history. "Fort Chambly, twenty miles south- west of Montreal on a conspicuous headland of the Richelieu River, is an- other ruin of great value, whose pre- servation has been assured by govern- ment action. The first Fort Chambly, built of wood by Jacques de Chambly, a Captain of the Carignan Regiment in 166, was planned in order to resist the raids of the Iroquois and to serve as a headquarters for the settlers of the Richelieu country. The Red Men, of course, simply gave the fort a wide berth and continued their depredations as before. In 1709 the present fort, a formidable stone structure, was erect- ed to resist English aggression, It is interesting to note that the energetic colonists had already built the fort before the vaciliating home govern- ment had authorized the undertaking, "For generations Chambly was one of the most important of the border fortresses. It passed into English hands in 1760. The Americans under Montgomery occupied it in 17756 and {burned everything combustible when , they evacuated in 1776. The follow- |ing year the fort was repaired and in (dt American prisoners were incarcer- ated for the remainder of the war. During the War of 1812 Fort Chambly was a base of operations in the Cham- plain country. The expedition to Plattsburg started from it. During the abortive rebellion of 1837 in Can- ada the fort was again used as a pris- on, and it was not until 1851 that it was finally abandoned as a military retreat. Subsequent to that date it was neglected for some time and was fall- ing into ruin until the appointment of a curator and the beginning of pre- servative operations {n 1889.

It must be remembered that a sweeping American victory would probably have meant the an- nexation of Canada by the United States, and in such a caee there would have been no Canadian nation to-day. Such names as Lundy's Lane, Beaver Dam and Queenston Heights have al- most as great a place in the heart of the Canadian patriot as have Valley Forge orsSaratoga or Bunker Hill in that of his United States cousin. "Many sites of events in this War, especially along the Niagara frontier, have been marked by the Canadian na- tional parks branch and other agen: cies, One of the most notable is old Fort George, at Niagara-on-the-Lake, where a cairn has been erected to commemorate the battle of Fort George, which took place May 27, 1813. This was one of the most critical epi- sodes of the campaign, and eventually resulted in the capture of the fort by : Unk o wn Wi arrior 1 'By Muriel Stuart "8 In arms he carried a morsel, a 5 hy ory of a baby, A lily that somehow he had mysteri- » ously fathered, Himself the sacrament broken dally to feed and enrich her.
