D'Iberville

De 1682 à 1704, la Nouvelle-France est un territoire fort convoité, et politiquement encore fragile. Un homme, Pierre LeMoyne d'Iberville bataille dur contre les Anglais de Boston et les Hollandais de Manhattan . Ses expéditions le mènent là où il faut lutter contre la prédominance de la Compagnie du Nord, à la Baie d'Hudson. C'est un pays grand comme un continent qu'il doit conquérir avec quelques centaines d'hommes. La série D'Iberville raconte ses aventures.

Résumé :  Une méprise

Une Méprise.
D'Iberville accompagne Charles LeMoyne et son oncle LeBer à Québec. LeMoyne et LeBer doivent y rencontrer de La Barre, nouveau gouverneur de la Nouvelle-France. Perrot, gouverneur de Montréal, voulant manœuvrer de La Barre selon son bon vouloir, cherche à retarder le voyage de LeMoyne. Il demande à Haaskouan, chef Iroquois, de capturer les trois voyageurs. Ce plan échoue car les Iroquois font une erreur d'identité et arrêtent Perrot au lieu de LeMoyne ! Furieux de cette méprise, Perrot se voit finalement délivré par un de ses compagnons.

Sainte-Foy 1760

The Battle of Sainte-Foy, sometimes called the Battle of Quebec, was fought on April 28, 1760 near the British-held town of Quebec in the French province of Canada during the Seven Years' War (called the French and Indian War in the United States). It was a victory for the French under the Chevalier de Lévis over the British army under General Murray. The battle was notably bloodier than the Battle of the Plains of Abraham of the previous September, with 833 French casualties to 1,124 British casualties. It was the last French victory in North America.

At first the British had some success, but the advance masked their artillery, while the infantry became bogged down in the mud and melting snowdrifts of the late spring. The battle turned into a two-hour fight at close range; eventually, as more French soldiers joined the fray, the French turned the British flanks, forcing Murray to realize his mistake and to recall the British back to Quebec without their guns, which Lévis then turned on the city.
