Louisbourg was no mere isolated stronghold which could be lost or
won without affecting the wider issues of oversea dominion. On the
contrary, it was a necessary link in the chain of waterside posts
which connected France with America by way of the Atlantic, the St
Lawrence, the Great Lakes, and the Mississippi. But since the chain
itself and all its other links, and even the peculiar relation of
Louisbourg to the Acadians and the Conquest, have been fully
described elsewhere in the Chronicles of Canada, the present volume
only tries to tell the purely individual tale. (Summary from Book
preface)
