About This Item

Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1991. Book. Good. Trade Paperback. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. xiii, 293pp., index, notes, biblio. essay, map. Light wear, corners lightly rubbed. "In 1604 Henri IV of France granted a fur trade monopoly to a company of merchants who wished to start a settlement in Acadia. The expedition, led by Pierre du Gua, sieur de Monts, landed first in the vicinity of LaHave in Nova Scotia and then spent a disasterous, scurvy-ridden winter on the island of Ste Croix. From the following year, the French colonizers concentrated their efforts on Port Royal, now Annapolis Basin, where Samuel de Champlain built his Habitation and founded the Order of Good Cheer. Port Royal became North America's first enduring settlement north of Florida. Soundly researched and vividly told, Gentlemen and Jesuits is a story of bravery and intrigue, of religious passion and commercial fervour, of dreams and folly and endurance.".
