At the start of the book, the author sets the stage for a deep dive into the stories of French pioneers, reflecting on their adventurous spirit and the challenges they faced. Finley expresses a personal connection to the land he writes about, emphasizing his own roots in the Mississippi Valley and a desire to celebrate the French influence in shaping this region. He hints at future discussions about influential figures such as Jacques Cartier and Samuel Champlain, mapping their journeys and experiences as foundational to the cultural tapestry of America. This opening establishes a thoughtful and narrative-driven approach to a historical exploration that examines not just facts, but the larger significance of these early encounters between French explorers and the land that would eventually become part of the United States.
