La Petite Nation and the Papineaus: Background to the Seigniory Club, 1674-1957

| Abstract |
Includes information of the assimilation of the French Catholic Papineau family to the English Protestant culture and religion. A brief sketch is given of Talbot Mercer Papineau (1883-1917), lawyer, army officer, great grand-son of Louis Joseph Papineau and cousin of Henri Bourassa (1868-1952). Talbot Papineau was killed on October 30, 1917, during the First World War battle at Passchendaele (Passendale), Belgium. Bourassa and Talbot Papineau publically disagreed about Canada's participation in the First World War. Bourassa was the founder and editor of the Montreal newspaper, Le Devoir. The Papineau family acquired the Seigniory of La Petite Nation in Montebello on the Ottawa River in 1801. In the 1920s, Harold M. Saddlemire, a Swiss-American entrepreneur, acquired the 26,305 hectares site and built the Seigniory Club, an exclusive retreat for Montreal's and Ottawa's elite. It is now a hotel known as the Château Montebello.
