Carignan-Salieres Regiment comes to Quebec: Following the peace between France and Spain, Louis XIV merged two groups of soldiers and sent them to Quebec to help subdue the Iroquois. This battle hardened group of Frenchmen seemed to be just what Canada needed.

In addition, the leader sent by France and Governor de Voyer of Canada were oblivious to this fact. More next week.
