"Histoire du Chevalier d'Iberville (1663-1706)" by Adam Charles Gustave Desmazures is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around Pierre Le Moyne, known as the Chevalier d'Iberville, and chronicles his significant role in the expansion of New France during the late 17th century. The book aims to highlight his adventures, military exploits, and contributions to French colonial efforts in North America. The opening of the text sets the stage by discussing the importance of New France, which had developed into a vast territory by the end of the 17th century. It outlines the motivations behind colonization and trade, particularly focusing on the resources of the region. Desmazures emphasizes the need to acknowledge the significant figures in these historical developments, specifically highlighting the Chevalier d'Iberville's impactful expeditions that contributed to France's dominance in the fur trade and fisheries. The text builds anticipation for a detailed exploration of Iberville's life and the context in which he operated, making it clear that the author seeks to rehabilitate the memory of this important but perhaps overlooked historical figure.
