La Prairie en Nouvelle-France 1647-1760 by Louis Lavallée, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Parish registers, notarial acts, administrative and judicial archives were used extensively to provide a comprehensive view of the formation and evolution of this society in its seigneurial context. In La Prairie en Nouvelle-France the seigneury comes into its own as a vantage point from which to view Canadian society under the French régime. The comparative approach that informs the entire work permits parallels and contrasts between colonial and metropolitan societies. | La Prairie en Nouvelle-France 1647-1760 by Louis Lavallée, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
