marked by nothing that would further the welfare of the colony; but
rather by a determined effort to enrich himself at the expense of the
country. =Bib.=: Parkman, _Half-Century of Conflict_ and _Montcalm and

=Lake Champlain.= _See_ Champlain, Lake.

=Lake George.= South of Lake Champlain. This beautiful lake was known to
the Indians as Horicon, and to the French as Lac St. Sacrament. The
outlet of the lake, after circling through the forest and passing over a
series of leaps in the falls of Ticonderoga, flows nearly two miles and
enters Lake Champlain just above Fort George. Lying on the recognized
thoroughfare, north and south, this lake has been the scene of many
memorable conflicts, in the Indian and colonial wars. =Index=: =Ch=

Lake Champlain_; Smith, _Our Struggle for the Fourteenth Colony_.

=Lake of the Woods.= On the international boundary, west of Lake
Superior. Probably discovered by Jacques De Noyon, about the year 1688.
Fort St. Charles was built by La Verendrye, on the western shore of the
lake, in 1732. His son Jean, with the Jesuit missionary Aulneau, and a
number of voyageurs, were murdered by the Sioux on an island in the
lake, in 1736. In addition to its present name, which is a translation
of the name given it by the French, Lac des Bois, it has also borne
several other names, Lac des Sioux, Lac des Isles, Lake of the
Sandhills, etc.

=Lalemant, Charles.= First superior of Jesuit missions in Canada;
arrived at Quebec from France in 1625, with Enemond Masse and Jean de
Brebeuf. They were the guests of the Recollets for two years, until
their own home on the banks of the St. Charles was built. Lalemant's
_Relation_ of 1625 affords a graphic picture of the life of the little
settlement at Quebec, and the early beginnings of the Jesuit missions.
