Chronicles of Canada Volume 07 - The Fighting Governer: A Chronicle of Frontenac - Charles W. Colby

The Canada to which Frontenac came in 1672 was no longer the infant colony it had been when Richelieu founded theCompany of One Hundred Associates.

Though its inhabitants numbered less than seven thousand, the institutions under which theylived could not have been more elaborate or precise. Inshort, the divine right of the king to rule over hispeople was proclaimed as loudly in the colony as in themotherland.

This book follows Frontenac through his life as a public officer in Canada.
