  6. Jeremie’s Account, 27–28; London Gazette, Oct. 29, 1696; Cal. A&WI, XV, 239-240. A series of complaints laid down by English prisoners in 1694, and testimony that Iberville had fairly treated the surrendered garrison by other Englishmen, led to a confused case against both Iberville and La Forest. (Ibid., 267–268, 291–301.) Iberville’s brother Lt. Serigny arrived at Fort Bourbon with two vessels not long after the appearance of Allen’s fleet. Judging the odds too great, Serigny ordered the ships back to France. One of these, the Hardi, was lost in a storm along the Labrador coast during the return voyage. (Charlevoix, V, 52–53.)

  8. The Great Company, 199–200. Both the Dering and the Royal Hudson’s Bay were armed merchantmen. The Dering carried thirty guns and the Royal Hudson’s Bay thirty-two.

  Acknowledgments

  This work would never have happened without the support and encouragement of my family. I am very fortunate in this regard and my sincere thanks go out to all of them, especially my beautiful wife, Pam. Nor could I have done this without the help of my old friend Ernie Botos, and as always, a special shout-out to Folgers. I also could not have done this without the help of several excellent institutions, many of which have helped with my previous works; the Massachusetts Historical Society, the Champlain Society, the University of Arizona Library, the Bailey-Howe Library at the University of Vermont, and Dartmouth’s Baker Library were all of great assistance in this endeavor. And to the numerous others, from my colleagues at work to friends of friends who expressed interest and passed on words of encouragement, my thanks as well. Although you may not know it, your timing was often impeccable.
