Rencontres sur la rivière des Outaouais
Les relations entre Amérindiens et Européens, aux XVIIe et XIXe siècles
par MARC RIOPEL
La rivière des Outaouais est au coeur de l’histoire que nous allons vous raconter au fil de ce texte. Formée à la suite du retrait du glacier sur le territoire du nord-est de l’Amérique du Nord, il y a environ 12 000 ans, la rivière des Outaouais s’impose rapidement comme voie de communication centrale qui permet l’accès à l’ensemble du Canada. Ainsi, en suivant son cours, le canotier peut atteindre l’intérieur du territoire du Québec par le biais de ses tributaires, se rendre vers la baie d’Hudson ou encore poursuivre sa route vers les Grands Lacs et l’Ouest du Canada. Les Amérindiens ont rapidement découvert son potentiel et en ont fait un réseau de communication et d’échanges réunissant les tribus amérindiennes de l’ensemble du continent. Cela s’est mis en place, il y a environ 5 000 ans. C’est d’ailleurs ce réseau de communication qui permet la rencontre des Européens et des Amérindiens, au début du XVIIe siècle, objet central de cette histoire.

The Siberian Expeditionary Force: A (Nearly) Forgotten Episode of WWI Long-time residents of Hudson remember Frank Wilson. Born in 1890, the youngest of James and Carolyn Wilson of Cote St. Charles' nine children, Frank was one of the large contingent of local men who answered the call to defend King and Empire in the Great War. He survived, returned to the Cote, but soon left for Ottawa where he learned the trade of carpentry. Two decades of work in Detroit followed.

Le Raconteur
As some of you know, over the years, I have been writing a series of vignettes on a variety of subjects. Pressed by Kevin to publish one or two of them as an inaugural venture on the new website of the Hudson Historical Society, I offer you a glimpse into a New Year's evening at my uncle Alphée's home in Alstonvale.
