This series pertains to the military administration of New France before and during the Seven Years' War, also known in North America as the French and Indian War (1756-1763). In particular, it chronicles the defence of trading posts around the Great Lakes and Hudson's Bay, escort operations for goods, and problems affecting the military and civil populations. In addition to the plans of walled cities in Acadia and Canada contained in the Mémoires of the Sieur de Courville, the series contains correspondence, commissions, directives, and letters of appointment and official honours.
