It is not only a first-person account of the French and Indian War, a scarce commodity, but it is also the work of a common soldier, rarer still. Charles Bonin's story reads as if the reader were sharing wine with the old veteran in a Paris cafe. It was first published in Quebec by Abbe H. R. Casgrain in 1887. In 1941, the Pennsylvania Historical Commission translated Casgrain's work. This edition includes the notes of the previous editions and additional explanations by Mr. Gallup, 1745-1761.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndrew Gallup\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(1993), 2007, 5.5\" x 8.5\", paper, indices, 254 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9781556138720\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e101-G0872\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32088571408,"sku":"101-G0872","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/101-g0872-1500px.png?v=1777213524"},{"product_id":"101-b2595","title":"French and Native North American Marriages, 1600-1800","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter finding his four Huron lines who came from Ontario, Canada, and who took refuge in Quebec with the help of the Jesuit priests around 1640, genealogist Paul J. Bunnell, renowned for his books on Loyalist ancestors, felt compelled to make this primary and secondary source information available to help others find their Native American connections. Persecuted by the Iroquois for trading with the French, the Huron, who had numbered around 20,000 were reduced to 2,000 by the year 1640, nearly wiping them out. Many of these Native Americans (First Nation) along with other tribes and clans of the Iroquois Nation, including all the Acadian coastal tribes, married into French families who settled areas of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island (St. Jean), Newfoundland, Maine, and other upper colony states, including some territories farther west. This book covers mostly the Eastern Canada and Upper New England areas, but does pick up some Miami\/Detroit and a few other tribes west of the above-mentioned areas. Although this is not a perfect and complete collection, there are many families listed here that have thousands of descendants today.

Recruited in France by the Ministry of the Marine, these men were organized into independent companies-Les Compagnies Franches de la Marine-and assigned to posts throughout the French colonial empire. The marine in Canada was the only regular soldier in the colony from 1685 to 1755. His assignment to Canada was for life. After his term of service, he was expected to become a colonist. Unlike other European soldiers, the marine became part of the country in which he served. In many cases, he became as Canadian as those native born. Topics include: history, material culture, a marine's life, marine music, cannoneers-bombardiers, watercraft, and French fortifications in Canada, along with several appendices that cover such items as: the organization of a marine company in Canada, marine pay, a list of marine officers, caliber of French artillery and small arms, and Native Americans allied with the French. This book examines a military force that has been condemned or virtually ignored by historians, suggesting instead that these soldiers were an effective military force and important to the development of North America. It contains an abundance of reference material and would complement the libraries of many museums and historical sites, as well as the private collections of re-enactment enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndrew Gallup and Donald F.

Monsieur Picard, who has previously written about the etymologies of the French migrants who settled Quebec and Acadia in the 17th and 18th centuries, now follows the spread of those surnames to various English-speaking parts of North America in his \u003ci\u003eDictionary of Americanized French-Canadian Names.\u003c\/i\u003e Besides its derivations and Anglicizations, this terrific resource references the first French-Canadian settlers bearing the names found in the dictionary.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProfessor Picard explains the development of French-Canadian surnames and their subsequent \"Americanization\" in his twelve-page Introduction, which, among other things, discusses various kinds of Anglicization, direct translations, partial translation, and mistranslations of French into English. For instance, did you know that Americans named Blair may have inherited their surname from a Canadian named Belair (one of several place-names in France); that the Americanized \"Bushey\" comes from Boissy; or that Greenwood may have originally been Boisvert? Similarly, while \u003ci\u003eOn the Road\u003c\/i\u003e author, Jack Kerouac, retained his French surname, persons with the American version \"Curwick\" may have the same ancestors. The last name of former Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry comes directly from the French; however, that surname also shows up in the U.S. as Landrey, Landrie, Laundra, Laundre, Laundrie, Laundry, Londeree, Londrie, and Londry. And some Americanizations are phonetically predictable, as in Maurice\/Morris, Meilleur\/Miller; or Sylvestre\/Sylvester; others, however, are less so, as in \"Sharkey\" from Chartier, Butler from Breton, or Wells from Dupuis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEach of the thousands of entries in the \u003ci\u003eDictionary of Americanized French-Canadian Names\u003c\/i\u003e contains two parts. The first of these is onomastic in nature, providing the etymology of the surname and any Americanized variants from which they stem. The second part contains some or all of the following information: the name of the first French-Canadian bearer of the name, the name of his parents, his place of origin in France, the name of his spouse and the names of her parents, and the place of his marriage. In addition to the Introduction and the dictionary itself, readers will find a brief list of abbreviations used throughout the text and a detailed bibliography of sources.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarc Picard\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2013, paper, 188 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780806356457\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e102-8465\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GPC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39403108401270,"sku":"102-8465","price":28.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/102-8465-1500px.png?v=1777310486"}],"url":"https:\/\/heritagebooks.com\/collections\/canada-french-canada\/military+canada.oembed","provider":"Heritage Books, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
