  • L'histoire D'yamachiche # 7 (Août 2012)
    L’histoire d’Yamachiche La famille Gugy Cette famille fut très importante pour notre municipalité et la région entière. Le 17 novembre 1980, le conseil municipal désigne une rue du nom de Conrad-Gugy. Conrad, né à La Haye au Pays-Bas vers 1734, fut jeune lieutenant de la 60e infanterie du Royal American au côté de Wolfe lors de la bataille des Plaines d'Abraham, le 13 septembre 1759. Il fut secrétaire particulier, confident et conseiller du gouverneur Frederick Haldimand du district de Trois-Rivières en 1763 et parlait aussi bien le français que l'anglais. L'année suivante, il laisse son poste pour acquérir les seigneuries de Grosbois Ouest et de Grandpré. Une première seigneurie canadienne passait à un homme entièrement dédié à l'Angleterre et ce sera celle d'Yamachiche. Conrad développa le « Domaine » qui comprenait le manoir en 1764 et le moulin à farine en 1772 qui étaient situés sur les terres de Monsieur Jacques Bergeron entre l’autoroute 40 et le 320 Gérin-Lajoie. Le Chemin du Roi passait directement sur son « Domaine ». De plus, plusieurs secteurs se développèrent : Grosbois Ouest; Petites-Terres; Village des Caron; Village de la Mission et la route de la Chicane. Il acheta trois autres seigneuries en 1771 : Dumontier, Frédérick (secteur des Forges) et Rivière-du-Loup (partie de St-Léon-le-Grand). C’est à St-Léon-le-Grand qu’il découvrit en 1783, une source d’eau minérale salée en grande quantité et en garde l’exploitation, mais cède la terre qui contient la dite source à Louis et François Paillé, d’oùnaîtra en 1849 l’histoire de « La Saline ».

  • Chapter Xxiv
    CHAPTER XXIV. Crown lands management Waste lands in seigniories Government officials Army bills redeemed Banking Political situation, 1816 The two Papineaus Sessions of 1817-1819 Death of George III., 1820 A speech of Louis-Joseph Papineau. To portion out the lands amongst the militia, General Drummond, the administrator of the province (1815), was constrained to have recourse to the officials of a department in which enormous abuses existed. The lands were divided up between favourites. So much territory had been given away that Drummond informed the minister that there was no more room on the River St. Francis for the establishment of the immigrants and the discharged soldiers. Every one had pounced down upon that immense pasture ground. From 1793 to 1811, over three million acres had been granted to a couple of hundred privileged applicants. Some of them secured as much as sixty to eighty thousand acres as, for example, Governor Milnes, who took nearly seventy thousand as his share. These people had no intention of ever improving the land by clearing it of the forest. As it cost them nothing, they purposed leaving the same in a wild state until such time as the development of the neigh- bourhood by colonization would increase the value of the whole. Another vexatious land question arose out of the vast domains granted by the King of France to the so-called seigneurs which were intended, by the letter and spirit of the grants themselves, to be given to the settlers whenever they wished for them. Large tracts of these still remained unoc- cupied and the seigneurs had often expressed the desire to get them as their own property in free and common socage, whilst the country people main- tained that they were to be kept en seigneurie according to the intention of the sovereign who first granted them.

  • Rural Manufacture in Lower Canada: Understanding Seigneurial Privilege and the * Transition in the Countryside David Schulze
    Rural Manufacture in Lower Canada: Understanding Seigneurial Privilege and the * Transition in the Countryside David Schulze The paper is a discussion of the theoretical implications of capitalist production based on seigneurial privilege in late eighteenth and early nineteenth century Quebec. This phenomenon is evaluated in the context of the Marxist analysis of the transition to capitalism. While earlier interpretations have characterized such production as essentially mercantile and/or feudalistic, the author considers that it matches Marx's description of the transitional phenomenon of manufacture , the form of capital's first appearance. L'article est une discussion des implications theoriques de la production capitaliste basee sur le privilege seigneurial au Quebec, a la fin du dix-huitieme et au debut du dix-neuvieme siScles. Ce phenomene est apparent dans le contexte de l'analyse marxiste de la transition au capitalisme. Tandis que les interpretations anterieures ont traite cette production d'essentiellement marchande et/ou feodaliste, elle se range a la description par Marx du phenomene de transition qui est la manufacture , la forme de la premiere apparition du capital. * Theory: The transition The nineteenth century saw the emergence of industrial capitalism in Quebec (Lower Canada); that much is acknowledged by any historian of the period. This implied a transition from a predominantly rural society specializing in agricultural production to a predominantly urban one, characterized by industrial production. Marxist analyses
