The power and the glory; a romance of the great La Salle by Gilbert Parker

THE POWER and THE GLORY
By
GILBERT PARKER
Of all the great gallery of explorers and adventurers who, in the days of the French and English. opened up the wilderness of what is now America, perhaps the most gallant, the most picturesque and the most daring was Robert Cavalier, Sieur de La Salle.
Heroically renouncing the only possibility of love that ever came into his life, pushing forward into the wilderness in the name of France and King Louis XIV, fighting the intrigues of courtiers and show more jealous women, holding against terrific odds the trust and support of his king, the great La Salle comes alive again in this brilliant historical romance.
There is no more glowing page in American history than the chronicle of the explorations of this gallant gentleman who was at once a great man, a great statesman and a great adventurer, and in “The Power and the Glory” his achievements and the life of his time are swept and blended into a living picture.
