About this book

Canada in 1672, when Frontenac first arrived, held fewer than seven thousand settlers, yet its institutions were elaborate and closely shaped by Louis XIV and Colbert to match royal absolutism in France. Charles W. Colby opens his short biography with that background before turning to the man himself, Louis de Buade, Comte de Frontenac.

Later chapters follow his first years, the quarrels among governor, bishop and intendant, his public policy, the great struggle and his last days. A frontispiece shows Frontenac answering Phips's messenger in 1690.
