A Tour to the River Saguenay, in Lower Canada

by Charles Lanman

TO

SOLOMON T. NICOLL, ESQ.,

OF NEW YORK CITY.

My Dear Sir,

To you, in testimony of my friendship, I inscribe this little volume.

On a pleasant morning in May last, I awoke from a piscatorial dream, haunted by the idea that I must spend a portion of the approaching summer in the indulgence of my passion for angling. Relinquishing my editorial labors for a time, I performed a pilgrimage which has resulted in the production of this volume, and I hope it may entertain those of my friends and the public who have heretofore received my literary efforts with favor. The work will be found to contain a record of adventures in the valleys of the Hudson, St. Lawrence and St. Johns, and along some of the rivers of New England.

Truly, your friend,

CHARLES LANMAN.

New York, Autumn of 1847.
