Somewhat difficult to read. This etext was produced by Gardner Buchanan "The Great Intendant: A Chronicle of Jean Talon in Canada, 1665-1672" by Thomas Chapais is a historical account published in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the significant contributions and challenges faced by Jean Talon during his tenure as the Intendant of New France. By focusing on the years 1665 to 1672, the narrative sets the stage for a transformative period in the colony's history, highlighting Talon's pivotal role in its revitalization. At the start of the book, the author introduces the dire circumstances facing the French colony in Canada. Established for over fifty years, New France struggled with a lack of population, resources, and military support due to ongoing conflicts with the Iroquois and negligence from the French government. The opening chapters highlight the arrival of Talon and other new leaders sent by King Louis XIV, who aim to rescue the struggling colony. Talon's background, preparation for his mission, and initial actions to stabilize and develop the region demonstrate his determination to foster growth, defend against threats, and cultivate relationships with settlers and Indigenous peoples. This beginning paints a vivid picture of a critical time in Canadian history and sets the tone for Talon's ambitious plans to rebuild and strengthen New France.
