Taking Root: Canada from 1700 to 1760 (Records of Our History, Volume 2)

Taking Root: Canada from 1700 to 1760 by André Vachon, with Victorin Chabot and André Desrosiers, is Volume 2 in the Records of Our History series. Published by Public Archives Canada / Supply and Services Canada in 1985, this first edition presents a documentary look at Canada during the first half of the eighteenth century.

Covering the years 1700 to 1760, the book explores a formative period in Canadian history, including life in New France, settlement, trade, imperial rivalry, Indigenous relations, and the political and social changes leading toward the British conquest. As part of a records-based history series, it is especially useful for students, teachers, researchers, and readers interested in primary-source history.

A strong choice for collectors of Canadian history, archival publications, and educational history books, this volume is a valuable addition to a Canadiana or early Canadian studies collection.
