The Chevalier de Montmagny
Jean-Claude Dube, translated by Elizabeth Rapley
In The Chevalier de Montmagny, Jean-Claude Dubé documents the extraordinary career of Charles Huault e Montmagny, first governor of the colony of New France. Born in Paris in 1601, and educated by the Jesuits, Montmagny studied law at the Université d'Orléans, joined the Order of Malta, and enjoyed a colourful career as a Hospitalier privateer in the Mediterranean, before arriving in New France in the spring of 1636.
Subjects: History, Sociology/Cultural Studies
This well-documented study - which in its original French edition was shortlisted for the Governor General's Literary Award in 1999 - adds an important dimension to our understanding of the social, religious, and political history of New France.
