Excerpt from Meanderings Among a Thousand Islands: Or an Account of Capt. Visger's Daily Trip on the River St. Lawrence The St. Lawrence is a very monarch of rivers. The rainfalls of half a continent, gathered into the largest reservoirs of fresh water upon the earth's surface, constitute its sources of supply. The course of its stream for more than seven hundred miles, from Lake Ontario to the Gulf, where its vast volume mingles with the Ocean, lies between shores, and over soils and rocks whose character changes with almost every geological formation known. Scattered along its whole length are numerous Islands, whose varied aspects and formations, as well as the constantly changing appearance of its banks, present every variety of natural scenery to the voyager upon the waters.
