Alias The Scot In Quebec

From THE SCOT IN AMERICA :

In 1609 when Champlain sailed up the St. Lawrence and into the great lake which bears his name, there was with him a man who won renown as a St. Lawrence pilot — -" Abraham Martin, alias the Scot." He located at Quebec, reared a family there, and immortalized his Christian name by giving it to that famous battle-field made illustrious by Scotsmen — the Plains of Abraham.
