About This Book

A historical biography surveys the development of French colonial Canada from early exploration and trade through the growth of settlements and missionary efforts, then focuses on the career and administrations of Count Frontenac. It traces political rivalries, military crises, and the contested authority between governors and colonial councils, recounting frontier warfare with Indigenous nations, campaigns to defend and secure the colony, and episodes of diplomacy and negotiation. Chapters alternate background narrative and campaign accounts to show how leadership, imperial policy, and local conditions shaped New France's struggle for survival and eventual peace.
