Book excerpt: Excerpt from Summer Resorts Reached by the Grand Trunk Railway and Its Connections: Including Niagara Falls, the Thousand Islands, Rapids of the St. Lawrence River, the White Mountains, Montreal, Quebec, the Saquenay River, and the Seashore The people of the Dominion, while presenting less diversity of nationality than those of the States, are much less cosmopolitan, preserving their national characteristics in a more marked degree. This is especially true of the older and more conservative sections. For illustration: The visitor from the States will find in the comparatively young city of Toronto, much to remind him of bustling Yankeedom. In the older city of Montreal, one section is most decidedly English, another thoroughly French, both in people and architecture, while between is a homogeneous intermingling of other nationalities similar to that of American cities. The ancient city of Quebec presents a still stronger contrast, it being thoroughly French to all intents and purposes, while its suburbs, where scarcely a word of English is to be heard, are strongly suggestive of some foreign land. Going still farther from the border, the traveler meets with an Acadian simplicity, absolutely refreshing, and the keen student of human nature will find in this feature alone of his visit to Canada, an attraction which no other trip could afford. Wherever this little work may meet the eye of the prospective summer tourist, whether on the golden coast of California, the broad prairies of the west, the "sunny south," or in the Eastern or Middle States, no better route for a vacation trip can suggest itself, than to some of the localities described in the following pages. In planning your summer journey, be sure that some portion of it is by the Grand Trunk Railway. You may reach it from Boston and other New England points, either at Portland, or by the Central Vermont line or the Southeastern, at Montreal. From the Middle and Southern Atlantic States, the Eastern approach may be made, or, taking in the Hudson River, Saratoga and Lake George, the Grand Trunk may be reached at Rouse's Point. From the West, Chicago, Detroit or Milwaukee may be the inception of your tour by this line. From the former city a choice of several routes is presented. From the new Dearborn station, the through trains of the Chicago and Grand Trunk Railway make close connections at Port Huron, with quick service, through coaches, sleeping cars and dining cars. From the Baltimore and Ohio station, the trains of the "Niagara Falls Short Line" make close connections with the Great Western Division at Detroit, forming a continuous through car service between Chicago and Suspension Bridge, New York and Boston.
