About this book
The Fighting Governor, subtitled A Chronicle of Frontenac, is by Charles W. Colby. The contents list chapters on Canada in 1672, Louis de Buade, Comte de Frontenac, Frontenac's first years in Canada, and Governor, Bishop, and Intendant. The text says that on his arrival in 1672 Frontenac found the Jesuits, the Sulpicians, and the Récollets all actively engaged in converting the heathen.
The text says the Society of Jesus had been among the strongest forces which stood between New France and destruction. The text says the fur trade had been the corner-stone upon which Champlain built up Quebec, but the profits proved disappointing. In the chapter The Lurid Interval, the text says there were always two lurking perils, the Iroquois and the English.
