Title
The Settlement of Bourg Louis
Abstract
The author explains that "the original seigniory of Bourg Louis is situated along the St. Anne River amongst the rolling foothills of the Laurentians, in the current county of Portneuf. The Southern half of the seigniory was once a thriving community of English speaking settlers. All that remains today is the Anglican Church and an occasional English name on a mailbox." Bourg Louis was predominantly settled by Irish Catholics, which were concentrated in the southern half of the seigniory, while the Protestant Irish, English and Scottish were centrally located. Thus, there was a visible spatial separation of the two religious communities.
