Have you ever thought about what fiction is? Probably, such a question may seem surprising: and so everything is clear. Every person throughout his life has to repeatedly create the works he needs for specific purposes - statements, autobiographies, dictations - using not gypsum or clay, not musical notes, not paints, but just a word. At the same time, almost every person will be very surprised if he is told that he thereby created a work of fiction, which is very different from visual art, music and sculpture making. However, everyone understands that a student's essay or dictation is fundamentally different from novels, short stories, news that are created by professional writers. In the works of professionals there is the most important difference - excogitation. But, oddly enough, in a school literature course, you don’t realize the full power of fiction. So using our website in your free time discover fiction for yourself. The Sun of Quebec: A Story of a Great Crisis by Joseph A. Altsheler (ebook smartphone .txt) 📖

The following typographical errors in the original printed version have been noted below and corrected only where indicated.
CHARACTERS IN THE FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR SERIESThe character Louis de Galissonni�re appears here as "GALISONNI�RE." Although he appears only at one other point in this book, the correct spelling comes from his more frequent appearances in another novel of the series, The Masters of The Peaks.
The captain of the Hawk, Stuart Whyte, is listed here as "WHITE."
The lieutenant of the Hawk, John Lanham, is listed here as "LATHAM."
CHAPTER I(Page 2) The character of Jacobus Huysman has a very noticeable dialect. The spelling of "iss," "wass," and "hass," plus various other words in his dialogue, is preserved as in the original text.
(Page 17) Alfred Grosvenor is referred as "Grovenor's."
CHAPTER III(Page 53) "hiden" instead of "hidden." Corrected in this text.
CHAPTER IV(Page 71) A missing closing quote at "... and so I decided against him." Corrected in this text.
CHAPTER V(Page 92) "probabilty" instead of "probability." Corrected in this text.
(Page 93) "She's going almost due south ..." opens with a single quote. Corrected in this text.
CHAPTER VIII(Page 144) "firce" instead of "fierce." Corrected in this text.
CHAPTER XI(Page 203) Once again, Captain Stuart Whyte is referred to as "White."
(Page 214) A missing closing quote at "... for the term of the war, at least." Corrected in this text.
CHAPTER XII(Page 221) "You" instead of "your" in "your look iss changed!" Corrected in this text.
CHAPTER XIII(Pages 245, 246). The name "Todohado" appears twice in quick succession on these pages. Presumably the spirit Tododaho was intended.
(Page 247). Tayoga uses "Degaeoga," presumably meaning Dagaeoga, his name for Lennox.
(Page 248) "atack" instead of "attack." Corrected in this text.
(Page 255) The location of Isle-aux-Noix appears here as "Isle-aux-noix."
