| Title |
From Squatters to Legal Owners: The Loyalists of Missisquoi Bay
|
| Abstract |
According to the author, the leaders of the Loyalist squatters of Missisquoi Bay in the Eastern Townships between 1784 and 1791 performed an amazing trick: they used a fake property deed and a forged surveyor plan and made their situation legal. And they did do with the silent approval of the seigneur of St. Armand, Thomas Dun.
