Summary "Trois Héros de la colonie de Montréal" by Paul Dupuy is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This book recounts the lives and sacrifices of three key figures—Jacques Le Maître, Guillaume Vignal, and Lambert Closse—who played pivotal roles in the early years of the French colony in Montreal. It highlights their dedication to their faith and their commitment to the development of the colony amidst the challenges posed by conflict with Indigenous tribes. The narrative follows the arrival of Le Maître and Vignal in Canada, where they actively participated in missionary work, ultimately meeting martyrdom at the hands of the Iroquois due to their unwavering dedication to conversion and community service. Le Maître's brave last stand to protect workers highlights his heroic sacrifices, while Vignal's eventual capture and gruesome death illustrate the severe dangers faced by religious figures in the colony. The latter part of the book centers on Lambert Closse, a military leader whose valor and strategic acumen were crucial in defending Montreal against Iroquois attacks. His story culminates in a tragic but honorable death while trying to protect the colonists, solidifying his legacy as a true hero of Montreal. Overall, Dupuy's account serves not only as a tribute to these figures but also as a reflection on the early colonial struggles and the price of faith and duty during that era.
