This etext was produced by Gardner Buchanan "The Fighting Governor : A Chronicle of Frontenac" by Charles W. Colby is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the life and leadership of Louis de Buade, Comte de Frontenac, who served as governor of New France during a pivotal time in the colony's development. The narrative explores the complexities of colonial administration, relationships, and governance in Canada in the late 17th century, focusing on Frontenac's interactions with key figures such as the bishop and the intendant, as well as his challenges and accomplishments in managing the colony. At the start of the narrative, the reader is introduced to the state of Canada in 1672, a colony still finding its footing under the reign of Louis XIV. Frontenac arrives in Quebec amidst a structured provincial government that emphasizes royal authority and control. The opening chapters detail the hierarchical relationship between the governor, the bishop, and the intendant, setting the stage for Frontenac's impending conflicts. It discusses his military background, ambitions for exploration, and the political tensions he faces, particularly regarding the fur trade and interactions with Indigenous peoples. This groundwork hints at the tumultuous yet transformative period of Frontenac’s governorship, highlighting his character as a warrior and leader amidst a myriad of complex colonial issues.
