Synopsis

Count Frontenac and New France Under Louis XIV takes you into the dramatic years when France and England fought for North America, led by the steadfast governor Frontenac. This volume traces frontier warfare, diplomacy, and colonial policy across a turbulent era, revealing how New France held its ground and shaped the map of the continent.

Across chapters that follow 1690–1697 and beyond, you’ll see sieges, raids, and shifting loyalties unfold along the Acadian coast, the Maine frontier, and the Iroquois border. Essays and narrative balance strategies, alliances, and the harsh realities of life on the edge of empire, with attention to both military action and the human choices behind them.

- Learn how Frontenac’s decisions influenced the fate of Quebec and the surrounding frontier
- See the clashes between French and English forces, and the role of Indigenous alliances
- Explore the logistics of supply, fortification, and siege warfare in a colonial warscape
- Understand the moral complexities of mission work, captivity, and ransom in wartime

Ideal for readers who want a clear, accessible portrait of late 17th‑century North America and the people who shaped it.
