In 1672, when Frontenac arrived in Canada, the colony had matured from its humble beginnings under Richelieus Company of One Hundred Associates. Despite a population of fewer than seven thousand, the governance structures were impressively intricate, mirroring the authority of the king in the homeland. This chronicle delves into Frontenacs journey as a prominent public figure, exploring his influence and the challenges he faced in shaping the future of Canada during a pivotal era.

The Canada to which Frontenac came in 1672 was no longer the infant colony it had been when Richelieu founded the Company of One Hundred Associates. Though its inhabitants numbered less than seven thousand, the institutions under which they lived could not have been more elaborate or precise. In short, the divine right of the king to rule over his people was proclaimed as loudly in the colony as in the motherland. This book follows Frontenac through his life as a public officer in Canada.

For Canada, Champlain is not alone a heroic explorer of the seventeenth century, but the founder of Quebec; and it is a rich part of our heritage that he founded New France in the spirit of unselfishness, of loyalty, and of faith.
