Synopsis
Excerpt from The Story of Joncaire
During these years, the American colonies of the rival powers were developing along widely divergent lines. France established her distant posts, throughout the lake and trans-alleghany region, her very energy weakening her for future defense. The English colonies, and New York in particular, devoted themselves more to developing the home territory. Both cajoled and bargained with the Indians, both exhausted themselves in fighting each other. It was the time when the slave trade was encouraged; when piracy ?ourished. But recently were the days when Captain Kidd and Morgan and Blackbeard and their kind sailed and they sailed; and the attention of New York's governors was divided between lawless and red-handed exploits on the seas, the quarrels of their legislative councillors, and the inter ference of the French in their reach for the fur trade. Throughout these Dark Decades there is a figure in our regional history which, strive as we may, is at best but dimly seen. Now it stands on the banks of the Niagara, a shadowy symbol of the power of France. Now it appears in fraternal alliance with the Iroquois; and anon it vanishes, leaving no more trace than the wiliest warrior of the Sen ecas, silently disappearing down the dim aisles of his native forest. Yet it is around this illusive figure that the story of the Niagara centers for forty years.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the lesser-known history of the Niagara region during the early eighteenth century, a time when France and England were engaged in a struggle for control of North America. The author delves into the life and work of Louis Thomas de Joncaire, a French interpreter and soldier who played a crucial role in shaping the region's destiny. The book traces Joncaireââ â¢s journey from his birth in Provence, France, to his capture and adoption by the Seneca Nation, his subsequent role as a mediator between the Iroquois and the French, and his eventual emergence as a key figure in French efforts to establish a trading presence on the Niagara River. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of the complex political and commercial rivalries of the era. The author examines the strategies employed by both France and England to secure the loyalty and trade of the Iroquois Confederacy, and the intricate web of alliances and betrayals that characterized the period. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of individuals who navigated the treacherous waters of diplomacy and the fur trade in a tumultuous era, revealing the intricate cultural interactions and political maneuvering that shaped the fate of the Niagara region. The author's meticulous research, drawing upon both published and manuscript sources, provides a unique and valuable contribution to our understanding of this pivotal period in North American history.
