A Small French Town (1665-1760)
From: The History of Montréal
$1.20
After our brief look at the fur trade and French expansion in North America, time now to return to the town and its development. Montreal’s political and administrative reorganization from 1663 to 1665 turned a new page in its history: the remote settlement was taking on the trappings of an urban centre. This chapter looks at what Montreal was like in the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, who lived in it.
