On the Eve of the Conquest, more than an annotated, translation, includes a discussion on the historical background of the start of the. French and Indian War, as well as a concise biography of Raymond and Michel Le Courtois de Surlaville, the influential army colonel at the French court to whom the report was sent. Raymond brings to light what he sees as administrative corruption, inconsistent practices of both the church and the government regarding the brandy trade, and shortcomings of French relations with allied Native people. He proposes reforms to improve the French position from the Great Lakes Basin south to the Ohio River and east to Acadia. Raymond betrays his altruism in offering to oversee the implementation of his program, as major in command at Michilimackinac, or seigneur of Green Bay, or as "inspector~general of the troops, garrisons, and posts of the upper country." Historians, anthropologists, museum curators, and other researchers interested in the French experience in North America during the eighteenth century will find this book useful. Valuable insights can be gained regarding Indian customs, relationships between French men and women, and the rnaterial culture in New France from Raymond's memoire. On the Eve of the Conquest is a remarkably candid view of the French empire in North America as it approached its fall.…
