Sommario/riassunto

"In The Chevalier de Montmagny, Jean-Claude Dube documents the extraordinary career of Charles Huault de Montmagny, first governor of the colony of New France. This well-documented study - which in its original French edition was shortlisted for the Governor General's Literary Award in 1999 - adds an important dimension to our understanding of the social, religious, and political history of New France."--BOOK JACKET.
