The book chronicles the life and governance of Louis de Buade, Comte de Frontenac, during his tenure in Canada in the late 17th century. It focuses on Frontenac's role as a pivotal figure in the development of New France and explores the political and social intricacies of the time. The opening of the book introduces readers to Canada in 1672, a province shaped by the influence of Louis XIV and characterized by a structured governance system involving the governor, the intendant, and the church. Through detailed discussions, it sets the stage for Frontenac's arrival and highlights the complexities of colonial life as well as the challenges he faces, including the need for military defense against the Iroquois and conflicts concerning civil and religious authority. It lays the groundwork for understanding the power dynamics between Frontenac, his administrative rivals, and the indigenous populations he must navigate.
