Description
A study of the French merchants who traded with Canada (or New France) before the colony was lost to the British. The merchants families who are the principal subject of the book lived in the Atlantic seaports or in the small towns and villages of southwest France. Based on notarial and parishrecords, this detailed reconstruction of trading clans leads the reader to a new view of the French Atlantic empire.
