Biographical Sketch. Béatrice Craig is an historian. Born in France in 1949, she obtained a certificate for English language instruction from the Université de Lille (France) III in 1974. Prior to writing her M.A. dissertation, she spent a year in Presque Isle, Maine as a teaching assistant at the University of Maine at Presque Isle, where she began research on the Franco-American community of the Upper St. John Valley. Dr. Craig obtained an M.A. in American Studies from the Université de Lille in 1975; she received her Ph.D. in Canadian and American History from the University of Maine in 1983. Since 1985, she has been employed as a professor of history at the University of Ottawa. For the last twenty years, the primary focus of Dr. Craig’s historical research and scholarship has been the Franco-American community of the Upper St. John valley. Her early work concentrated on kinship and migration; later she began exploring inheritance of property, and most recently she has been studying economics history. In addition to her thesis and dissertation, Dr. Craig has produced numerous journal articles, conference presentations, and book chapters 4 concerning the history of the Upper St. John Valley. She is presently preparing a monograph titles Family, Land and Society in the Upper St. John Valley, 1785-1870. Scope and Content Notes.

The collection consists primarily of photocopies of data entry sheets, data print-outs, notes, related archival documents, published and unpublished articles, presentation papers, and theses. In addition, the collection contains a small number of manuscript notes and eight diskettes of electronic data. These papers offer significant information about the history, demography, and economy of the Upper St. John River Valley of Maine and New Brunswick from the period 1785-1870.

On that day, the Fort Kent blockhouse, destined to become one of the most enduring symbols of the war, was still six months away from construction at the conflu­ ence of the Fish and St. John rivers. Fort Kent did not rise out of bombast and calls to arms. It instead assumed its very strategic location gradually as Maine pushed to establish a toe-hold in the territory claimed by both Great Britain and the United States under the nebulous terms of the Treaty of Paris signed in 1783.
