New Ripples from La Prairie Voyageur Canoes


I’ve been studying and writing about my 17th and 18th century ancestors from La Prairie, New France for nearly fifteen years, so I decided to take a few deep dives into my research with artificial intelligence (AI). The following work is based on new conversations between Drifting Cowboy and Grok xAI, Gemini AI or ChatGPT AI. 


For me the results have been nothing short of amazing.


Check it out…
