Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents an exploration of the lives of two French administrative officials, Jacques and Antoine Baudet, who served as intendants in Canada under King Louis XIV. It offers an engrossing account of their work in establishing policies and improving living conditions in the colony. The book delves into the challenges faced by the Baudets as they navigated the complex social and political landscape of New France. In a time of conflict between English and French colonists, the Baudets played a crucial role in organizing the colony's defenses and fostering its economic development. The author highlights the intendants' dedication to developing agriculture, trade, and the colony's infrastructure. He also provides insights into the Baudets' efforts to establish a just and equitable legal system and promote education among the colony's residents. Beyond detailing the Baudets' administrative achievements, the book also sheds light on their broader vision for Canada. It explores their proposal to establish a major settlement on Cape Breton Island, which aimed to transform the island into a central hub for trade and commerce. The author analyzes the strategic and economic considerations behind this ambitious plan and its potential impact on the colony's future. This book offers a comprehensive and engaging narrative of the Baudet brothers' contributions to the development of Canada. It provides valuable insights into the administrative, economic, and social policies that shaped the colony during the reign of Louis XIV, and it illuminates the broader historical context of the era.
