Peter is the author of a two-volume book of the same name. His book identifies more than 700 soldiers and officers of the 1,200 men who were sent to New France in 1665 to put an end to the constant threat posed by the Iroquois and to secure the colony that would become modern-day Quebec. At the end of their three-year mission, the soldiers and officers were encouraged to settle in Canada. Many of the men founded families with the Filles du Roi, the King's Daughters.

In this presentation, Peter will speak about the men and tell the stories of their lives and how these brothers-in-arms often became brothers-in-law or otherwise remained close, even after their service was over.
