Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary "Available for the first time in English, the 1776 journal of Francois Baby, Gabriel Taschereau, and Jenkin Williams provides insight into the failure of American revolutionaries to incite rebellion in Quebec. While other sources have shown how British soldiers and civilians and the French-Canadian gentry (the seigneurs) responded to the American invasion of 1775-1776, this journal focuses on French-Canadian peasants, les habitants, who made up the vast majority of the population; in other words, the journal helps explain why Quebec did not become the "fourteenth colony.""--Jacket.
