It was the route by which La Salle, Marquette, Joliette, Hennepin and Dul'hut penetrated to Lake Michigan, although a round-about passage had to be taken up the Ottawa and Mattawa Rivers over Lake Nipis- sing into Lake Huron to avoid the hostile Indians below Lake Erie. - The first known pilot on the St. Lawrence was Abraham Martin, af- ter whom the Plains of Abraham at Quebec are named. In the Jesuit Relations, Abraham Martin is refer- red to as "dit I'Ecossais" or "called the Scot," so that in addition to be- ing the first pilot of the King of France he was also the first known Canadian of Scotch descent. Al- though married to a French woman and very possibly born in France, Abraham Martin was no doubt de- scended from one of the numerous soldiers of fortune who fought in the Army of the French King, and perhaps formed one of the Scots Guard which became famous in the days of Louis the Eleventh. Col- onel Alexander Fraser of Toronto has evidence to show that the fam- ily of Abraham Martin belonged to Perthshire in Scotland. The Plains of Abraham are named from the grant of land which Abra- ham Martin received from Samuel dc Champlain in 1617 at the time of the settlement of Quebec. Louis Hebert, the most famous of the first colonists of Canada, received a grant of land alongside at the same time. Abraham Martin undoubtedly cul- tivated his own farm, but apparently was also a carpenter and took suffi- cient interest m shipping to get the appointment of King s Pilot. The Canadian Pacific Railway, in view of its ^reat steamship inter- ests, has decided to erect a simple but artistic Memorial to Abraham Martin, which has been designed by Henri Hebert, the well-known French-Canadian sculptor^ who is connected with the original Louis Hebert, and thus is particularly fitted to design the Memorial. This is of granite and shows a pillar crowned by a globe of the world, supported by thistles. Carved in low relief is the Lily of France rising out of the sea. The inscrip- tion IS in both French and English. An appropriate site has kindly been granted by the Quebec Harbour Commissioners. The architect is J. Roxburgh Smith. , 1 CE MONUMENT ftopPCLLt AUX MSMNrs ABRAHAM M4ffTIN 01 r L'tLCOSSAlS" pHMtcvt^ioTt ou hoy" sgR i£ MimwuuRENT er LABOUREUR D£5 PUINLS ILLU^RCS QUI PORTENT SON NOM 1 r TUIS MONUHIKT SlOllS TO TNf DMSn-»Y A8RAUAM MAftUN CAUKO THE SCOT* FIRST "KINGS WLOT" ON THE S* UWQEHCE WHO TILLED THE LAND ON THf.
