Monuments intellectuels de la Nouvelle-France et du Québec ancien
L’expérience de la Nouvelle-France et du Québec ancien a poussé à l’écriture des voyageurs, des missionnaires, des érudits, des savants et des sages. Les uns ont décrit cette partie du monde, son histoire, ses caractéristiques, ses peuples ; les autres en ont expliqué les dimensions du monde physique, de la vie ou de l’expérience humaine. De Lescarbot et Champlain à Charlevoix, les ouvrages des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, liés à l’exploration d’un nouveau monde et au contact avec des peuples très différents des Européens, sont à la fois géographiques, ethnologiques et historiques, mais l’histoire comme genre apparaît vraiment en 1845, avec F.

The Good Regiment
In 1665 the Carignan-Salières Regiment was sent to Canada by King Louis XIV to quell the Iroquois, whose attacks were strangling the colony's fur-based economy and threatening to destroy its tiny settlements.

Promoted by Abbé Lionel Groulx as a body of chosen men sent to do God's work, the regiment came to be viewed as an elite corps of Catholic crusaders. In The Good Regiment Jack Verney sets the record straight, revealing that the Carignan-Salières Regiment was not a group of saintly knights but caroused, womanized, and gambled in off hours just like any other infantry regiment.
