Montreal begins in hard-won uncertainty. In Histoire Du Montreal. 1640-1672, Pierre Margry traces the city's first decades as a living, contested project on the St. Lawrence, where faith, commerce, and survival met at the edge of empire. More than a historical chronicle, this is an archival document collection shaped into a coherent narrative of the founding of Montreal and the wider New France settlement. Margry, a meticulous French archivist, draws on official papers, correspondence, and reports to illuminate the realities of French colonial administration: alliances and tensions with Indigenous nations, shifting priorities in Quebec and Paris, and the practical demands of building a community in 17th century Montreal. Readers interested in Jesuit relations New France will find a grounded sense of how missions, diplomacy, and settlement intertwined across New France 1640-1672, without romantic gloss. Its value lies in the close-grained record: names, dates, decisions, and disputes that map the shift from fragile outpost to organised colony. It reads with the authority of primary evidence today. Long valued as a Canadian history reference and an academic research source, this early Canada history book remains a key guide to origins that still shape the city and the nation. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint -- a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Whether you read for atmosphere and place, or collect landmark works of historiography, this complete Montreal history text offers documentary weight, clarity, and enduring relevance.
