$24.95 pb, Acorn Press
As Europeans settled on what had come to be known as Isle Saint

missionaries. Thus Skmaqn became the French fort Port-la-Joye.
The French saw it as the most strategic location as its harbour was
large, sheltered, and easy to defend because of the narrow entrance
through which any enemy ships would have to pass.
