Frontenac reached Canada in 1672 to govern a colony of fewer than seven thousand people, organised by Louis XIV and Colbert as an absolute province. Colby follows his quarrels with the bishop, the intendant and the Jesuits, his recall, and his return in old age to lead New France through the great struggle with the Iroquois and the English.
