(George McKinnon) The Seigneurs of Old Canada : A Chronicle of New World Feudalism Toronto : $b [s.n.], $c 1915 Chronicles of Canada series: Volume 05 This etext was produced by Gardner Buchanan "The Seigneurs of Old Canada: A Chronicle of New World Feudalism" by William Bennett Munro is a historical account written during the early 20th century. The book explores the establishment and development of French colonial feudalism in Canada, particularly through the lens of the seigneurs, who were landowners granted rights by the crown. It delves into the socio-political structures that emerged in New France, reflecting on the impact of feudalism in shaping the colony's agricultural and societal landscape. The opening of the book presents an overview of France's historical significance and its imperial ambitions, especially during the 17th century. It introduces key figures such as Samuel Champlain, who established Quebec as a crucial settlement, laying the groundwork for the seigneurial system. Munro discusses the challenges faced by early settlers, including harsh winters and the necessity of forging relationships with Indigenous peoples, while also outlining the royal intent behind granting land in a feudal manner. This opening portion sets up a narrative that highlights both the ambitions and the struggles of establishing a new order in the face of untamed wilderness and social complexities.
