Now a national historic site, the fortified military settlement of Louisbourg was once a colonial jewel desired by both the French and English monarchies, traded with yet feared by the Anglo-Americans, and highly regarded by the Mi’kmaq. Home to Canada’s first lighthouse, Louisbourg became the capital of Île-Royale (Cape Breton Island) in 1720, and was an economically viable fishery, military stronghold, and strategic naval base for centuries. In the newest addition to the Stories of our Past series, Louisbourg: Past, Present, and Future, historian A. J. B. Johnston explores the complex past of the Nova Scotian landmark in an accessible and animated format. Featuring over 50 images, including maps, archaeological excavations, and artistic renderings, Louisbourg illustrates a significant period in Nova Scotia history.

Osprey's study of James Wolfe's siege of Louisbourg during the French and Indian War (1754-1763). Louisbourg represented a major threat to Anglo-American plans to invade Canada. Bypassing it would leave an immensely powerful enemy base astride the Anglo-American lines of communication – Louisbourg had to be taken. Faced with strong beach defences and rough weather, it took six days to land the troops, and it was only due to a stroke of daring on the part of a young brigadier named James Wolfe, who managed to turn the French beach position, that this was achieved. The story is largely based on firsthand accounts from the journals of several participants, including French Governor Drucour's, whose excellent account has never been published.

Control and Order in French Colonial Louisbourg, 1713-1758 is the culmination of nearly a quarter century of research and writing on 18th-century Louisbourg by A. J. B. Johnston. The author uses a multitude of primary archival sources-official correspondence, court records, parish registries, military records, and hundreds of maps and plans-to put together a detailed analysis of a distinctive colonial society. Located on Cape Breton Island (then known as Île Royale), the seaport and stronghold of Louisbourg emerged as one of the most populous and important settlements in all of New France. Its economy was based on fishing and trade, and the society that developed there had little or nothing to do with the fur trade, or the seigneurial regime that characterized the Canadian interior. Johnston traces the evolution of a broad range of controlling measures that were introduced and adapted to achieve an ordered civil and military society at Louisbourg. Town planning, public celebrations, diversity in the population, use of punishments, excessive alcohol consumption, the criminal justice system, and sexual abuse are some of the windows that reveal attempts to control and regulate society. A. J. B. Johnston's Control and Order in French Colonial Louisbourg offers both a broad overview of the colony's evolution across its half-century of existence, and insightful analyses of the ways in which control was integrated into the mechanisms of everyday life.

Le XVIIIe siècle passe pour avoir été celui du café, du sucre, des cho colatières et des indiennes. Certes, mais pour convoyer les vaisseaux marchands, pour protéger la pêche et le commerce, pour défendre Fort-R oyal ou Louisbourg, la marine française dut livrer la première des Bat ailles de l'Atlantique. Du sac de Rio de Janeiro par un Malouin (Du Gu ay-Trouin) - lors de la guerre de succession d'Espagne (1701-713) à la bataille de la Chesapeake sous les ordres d'un Provençal (le compte d e Grasse) durant la guerre d'Amérique -, la marine française semble vo ler de succès en succès. Mais les guerres de la sucession d'Autriche ( 1744-1748) et de Sept Ans (1756-1763) sont là pour montrer combien dur ent être grands les efforts des Choiseul, Sartine et Caastries pour do ter un royaume d'une marine autre que celle de Joseph Vernet. Grâce à eux, un siècle commencé par la prise de Gibraltar par la Royal navy (1 704) put s'achever dans l'Inde par les combats glorieux du bailli de S uffren, remportés peu avant que n'appareille M. de La Pérouse, car le siècle de la guerre sur mer fut aussi celui des Bougainville, des Cook et des d'Entrecasteaux.Michel Vergé-Francheschi est professeur d'Hist oire moderne à l'Université de Savoie. Il est depuis 1995 Directeur du Laboratoire d'Histoire et d'Archéologie maritime à l'Époque moderne d u CNRS, URA 1989 (Musée de la Marine/ Paris IV-Sorbonne).
