  • The Siege of Fort Beauséjour by Chris M. Hand Notes
    1 The Siege of Fort Beauséjour by Chris M. Hand Notes Early Conflict in Nova Scotia 1604-1749. By the end of the 1600’s the area was decidedly French. 1713 Treaty of Utrecht After nearly 25 years of continuous war, France ceded Acadia to Britain. French and English disagreed over what actually made up Acadia. The British claimed all of Acadia, the current province of New Brunswick and parts of the current state of Maine. The French conceded Nova Scotia proper but refused to concede what is now New Brunswick and northern Maine, as well as modern Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton. They also chose to limit British ownership along the Chignecto Isthmus and also harboured ambitions to win back the peninsula and most of the Acadian settlers who, after 1713, became subjects of the British Crown. The defacto frontier lay along the Chignecto Isthmus which separates the Bay of Fundy from the Northumberland Strait on the north. Without the Isthmus and the river system to the west, France’s greatest colony along the St. Lawrence River would be completely cut off from November to April. Chignecto was the halfway house between Quebec and Louisbourg. 1721 Paul Mascarene, British governor of Nova Scotia, suggested that a small fort could be built on the neck with a garrison of 150 men. a) one atthe ridge of land at the Acadian town of Beaubassin (now Fort Lawrence) or b) one more west on the more prominent Beauséjour ridge. This never happened because British were busy fighting Mi’kmaq who were incited and abetted by the French.

  • Field Trips Guide Book for Photographers Revised 2008 a Publication of the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs
    Field Trips Guide Book for Photographers Revised 2008 A publication of the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs Copyright 2008. All rights reserved. May not be reproduced or copied in any manner whatsoever. 1 Preface This field trips guide book has been written by Dave Carter and Ed Funk of the Northern Virginia Photographic Society, NVPS. Both are experienced and successful field trip organizers. Joseph Miller, NVPS, coordinated the printing and production of this guide book. In our view, field trips can provide an excellent opportunity for camera club members to find new subject matter to photograph, and perhaps even more important, to share with others the love of making pictures. Photography, after all, should be enjoyable. The pleasant experience of an outing together with other photographers in a picturesque setting can be stimulating as well as educational. It is difficullt to consistently arrange successful field trips, particularly if the club's membership is small. We hope this guide book will allow camera club members to become more active and involved in field trip activities. There are four camera clubs that make up the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs McLean, Manassas-Warrenton, Northern Virginia and Vienna. All of these clubs are located within 45 minutes or less from each other. It is hoped that each club will be receptive to working together to plan and conduct field trip activities. There is an enormous amount of work to properly arrange and organize many field trips, and we encourage the field trips coordinator at each club to maintain close contact with the coordinators at the other clubs in the Alliance and to invite members of other clubs to join in the field trip.

WILLIAMSON, Controller OTTAWA, CANADA 43910—U FORT BEAUSËJOUR NATIONAL PARK NEW BRUNSWICK Introduction HE site of old Fort Beauséjour, located on the long ridge between the Aulac and Missaguash rivers, and over­ Tlooking Chignecto Bay, forms one of the most interest­ ing historical places in New Brunswick. The fort was originally constructed by the French between 1751 and 1755 on the orders of de la Jonquière, Governor of Canada, as a counter defence against the English Fort Lawrence, which stood on a parallel ridge about a mile and half to the south­ east. It derived its name from an early settler, Laurent Chatillon, surnamed Beauséjour, after whom the southern end of the ridge had been named Pointe-à-Beauséjour. In 1755, before its actual completion, Fort Beauséjour was attacked by an expedition from Boston under the com­ mand of Colonel the Honourable Robert Monckton. Landing at the mouth of the Missaguash river, the English force, which numbered about 2,000 New Englanders, encamped at Fort Lawrence before marching on the fort, being joined there by 300 British regulars. Following the capture of an outpost at Pont à Buot, heavy guns and mortars were landed from the boats, gun-emplacements were dug over 800 yards north of the fort, and a heavy fire was opened on the fortifi­ cations by the batteries.

  • Le Rôle Politique Des Abbés Pierre Maillard, Jean-Louis Le Loutre Et François Picquet Dans Les Relations Franco-Amérindiennes À La Fin Du Régime Français (1734-1763)
    MAXIME MORIN LE RÔLE POLITIQUE DES ABBÉS PIERRE MAILLARD, JEAN-LOUIS LE LOUTRE ET FRANÇOIS PICQUET DANS LES RELATIONS FRANCO-AMÉRINDIENNES À LA FIN DU RÉGIME FRANÇAIS (1734-1763) Mémoire présenté à la Faculté des études supérieures de l’Université Laval dans le cadre du programme de maîtrise en histoire pour l’obtention du grade de maître ès art (M.A.) DÉPARTEMENT D’HISTOIRE FACULTÉ DES LETTRES UNIVERSITÉ LAVAL QUÉBEC 2009 © Maxime Morin, 2009 RÉSUMÉ Les abbés Pierre Maillard, Jean-Louis Le Loutre et François Picquet ont joué le rôle d’intermédiaires politiques entre l’administration coloniale de la Nouvelle-France et les Amérindiens de 1734 à 1763. Les pertes territoriales liées à la signature du traité d’Utrecht de 1713 incitent la France à maintenir son réseau d’alliances avec les Micmacs de l’Acadie et les Iroquois de la vallée laurentienne. La présence missionnaire s’avère alors essentielle pour mettre en application les politiques coloniales françaises. Les prêtres sont appelés à collaborer avec l’administration coloniale puisqu’ils possèdent un ascendant sur leurs ouailles lié à leur formation sacredotale ainsi qu’à leur connaisance des langues et des mœurs amérindiennes. En outre, leur entreprise de christianisation converge avec les intérêts politiques français. Les activités qu’ils mènent sur les scènes diplomatique et militaire montrent enfin qu’ils tentent de rendre l’attachement des Amérindiens à la religion catholique indissociable de la fidélité à la France. AVANT-PROPOS Ce travail de longue haleine est le produit de plusieurs personnes qui, depuis quelques années, ont contribué de près ou de loin à ma formation académique et mon expérience en recherche.
