L'ouverture du Saguenay à la colonisation (1821-1842)
|
Abstract |
The author examines the early Euro-Canadian settlement of the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec, from the establishment of the first Crown Lands Committee (1821) until the region was officially opened to colonization (1842). He includes information on the Hudson Bay Company and its acquisition of the region in 1821, and on British-born Quebec City timber merchant William Price (1789-1867) and his role in encouraging a group of people from La Malbaie, who went to settle as squatters along the Saguenay. Between 1838 and 1842 this squatters community, called the “Vingt-et-un,” built nine sawmills at the mouths of the principal tributaries of the Saguenay, with the planks the mills produced sold to Price.
