Once the borderland of the Algon- quin and Iroquois Indians. Here, Hiawatha was supposed to have built his magic canoe. In 1842, when Charles Dickens, the English novelist, visited America and saw so little he was willing to praise, he said of the St. Lawrence:"The beauty of this noble stream at almost any point, but especially .... where it winds it way along the Thou- sand Islands can hardly be imagined."In 1872, George M. Pullman, the palace car man, entertained Generals Grant and Sheridan at his summer home,"Castle Rest,"just opposite Al- exandria Bay. Today the Islands are known the world over as"The Venice of America."File this card in your Blue Book (OVER)
