count frontenac

Book cover
1910. Le Sueur writes the history of Frontenac, a governor of New France. He had built a brilliant military reputation before his assignment to Canada. During his first administration he built a fort at Cataracouy to awe the Iroquois and facilitate communications with the West. To explore the course of the Mississippi, previously discovered by Joliet and Marquette, he sent Cavalier de La Salle, who named the country watered by that river Louisiana, in honor of Louis XIV. Although intelligent and magnanimous, brave and unflinching in peril, he was proud, imperious, and ready to sacrifice all to personal animosity. Contents: Canada Before Frontenac; The Beginning of Frontenac's Administration; The Commencement of Troubles; Divided Power; The Life of a Colony; Governorship of M. De La Barre; Governorship of Marquis De Denonville; Frontenac to the Rescue; Frontenac Defender of Canada; Fire and Sword on the Border; and The Drama of War-Peace at the Last. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
