Montreal, 1535-1914 is William H. Atherton's three-volume history of the city, published in 1914, and this first volume covers the French regime. Atherton begins with Jacques Cartier's visit to the Iroquoian village of Hochelaga in 1535, then tells the story of the founding of Ville-Marie in 1642 by Maisonneuve, with Jeanne Mance and the religious enthusiasts of the Society of Notre-Dame, the long years of danger from Iroquois raids, the role of the Sulpicians as seigneurs of the island, the growth of the fur trade and the town's institutions, and the final campaigns of the Seven Years' War that ended with the capitulation of Montreal in 1760. The book is illustrated and written with evident civic pride. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
