Note 80 — PETER KALM’s TRAVELS. (continued 2)
Johann Reinhold Forster translation
The great earthquake which happened in Canada, in February, 1663, and which is mentioned by Charlevoix80, has done considerable damage to this place. Many hills tumbled down; and a great part of the corn-fields on the lowest hills were destroyed. They shewed me several little islands, which arose in the river on this occasion.
