This title is an acquisition.

For more than 5,000 years, navigators on the St. Lawrence River have had to contend with the Rapides de Lachine, also known as the Rapides du Diable. But no Rapides, no Hochelaga, no Ville-Marie, no Montreal. Over time, legends have been forged and anecdotes perpetuated that are as impetuous and diabolically hilarious as they are part of our cultural heritage. Tirer l'diable par la queue; Branler dans l'manche; C'était pas un mauvais diable; Les raftmans; legends stemming from this deadly geological accident. Are they true, are they false? God knows, and the devil suspects! Available in individual capsules.
