Book Description
One of the world's great rivers, the St. Lawrence provides access to a continent. The river has a legacy of scenic beauty, a tradition of commerce, and after six wars, become a model of international cooperation between two great nations. With its tributaries, the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway drains over four hundred square miles of the North American continent. The five Great Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario constitute the largest reservoir of fresh water in the world. Flowing from Lake Ontario, the St. Lawrence River is about two and a half miles wide. Seldom less than two miles wide, the St. Lawrence constitutes the border between the United States and Canada for its first 114 miles. By doing so, it separates New York State's Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties from the Canadian Province of Ontario. This is a book of photos, facts, and legend about the river, Jefferson County, and St. Lawrence County.

Book Description
St. Lawrence Feast Day: August 10\sBorn (approximately) 225 - Died 258 This great martyr of Rome lived in the second century. He was one of seven deacons who were in charge of delivering relief to the impoverished and the needy. Then tremendous commotion erupted and the troublemakers who did not like Christians planned to murder Pope St.Sixtus II. As they brought the Pope away for death (to chop off his head), Lawrence followed him crying. "Father, where are you leaving without your deacon?" The Pope answered, "I am not abandoning you, my son, in three days you will accompany me." Full of delight, Lawrence donated to the impoverished the balance of the money he had with him. He even sold valuable church vessels so he would have more money to give away. The prefect of Rome, a greedy man, felt the Church had a large sum stashed away. He instructed Lawrence to deliver the Church's riches to him. The saint said he would, in three days. Then Jesus proceeded around the city and brought together all the destitute and ill people sponsored by the Church. He introduced them to the prefect and said: "These folks are the Church's treasure." The prefect was outraged. In his wrath he instructed them to murder Lawrence slowly so he would suffer more. The saint was bound on top of an iron grill over a slow fire that cooked him. God gave him so much courage and pleasure that Lawrence joked with the court saying "Turn me over". Before he died, he prayed that the city of Rome could be turned to Jesus. He hoped that the Catholic religion would spread all throughout the globe.
