Recueil des textes de 15 conférences données par l'auteur. Parce que l'ouvrage n'a pas été conçu comme un tout, il y a certaines redondances. Pour l'érudit, il manque de matière, mais pour le néophyte, c'est une belle entrée en matière. L'auteur revient sur plusieurs noms qui ont marqué l'histoire du Québec: Jacques Cartier, Madeleine de Verchère, Jean Talon... et fait la part des choses entre mythe et réalité.
