Note 2 — Chapter I · THE AMERICAN BACKGROUND

The three most important of these routes were: 1, from the headwaters of the St. John to a branch of the Chaudière; 2, from the head of the Kennebec to the Chaudière proper (the route of Col. Arnold in 1775); and 3, from a branch of the Connecticut to a stream entering Lake Memphremagog, and so down the St. Francis. Cf. A. B. Hulbert, Portage Paths; Cleveland, 1903. Many of the early maps also show the more important portages and carrying-places.
