Count Louis de Baude Frontenac (565 words)
In 1689, when the uprising of the Iroquois and the Lachine massacre, in retaliation of Governor Denonville's treacherous dealing, threatened the existence of the colony, Frontenac was sent to the rescue and was hailed as a deliverer.
In 1696 Frontenac wisely disregarded the instructions of France to evacuate the upper country, which would have ruined the colony, and merely observed a defensive attitude.
Frontenac died sincerely regretted by the whole colony which he had saved from ruin.

Louis de Buade was born in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, the son of Henri de Buade, colonel in the regiment of Navarre.
