Album Info:
Prior to the Civil War (1856-1865), about 85% of the French-Canadians, who travelled The Old Canada Road to reach Maine, came from the Beauce region of Québec. The Chaudière River, originating at Lac Mégantic, runs north to St-Georges-de-Beauce and then north-northwest through many of the towns from whence our French-speaking ancestors came. The Chaudiere River empties into the St. Lawrence River facing Quebec city. Most of the first Quebecois to venture forth followed the Chaudiere River.
