Today in 1656, Rene Lepage de Sainte-Claire was born in Burgundy.
Between 1670 & 1674, he immigrated to New France.
In 1696, he founded Rimouski after obtaining the land from Augustin Roer de la Cardonniere.
Sainte-Claire remained in Rimouski until his death in 1718.

Katherine McKittrick's Demonic Grounds: Black Women and the Cartographies of Struggle recurrently on my mind this morning. I should go back and re-read that, after I get through the pile I have from the #library this month.

Absolutely thrilled that #CBC Ideas has produced an episode on my fantastic colleague Mairi Cowan's new book about a case of demon possession in 17th-century #Canada.

Do you know where New France was?
No you don't, as Catherine Desbarats and Allan Greer magisterially demonstrate in this gem of an article: https://www.erudit.org/fr/revues/haf/2011-v64-n3-4-haf0778/1017969ar/
Returning to teaching historiography of North America tomorrow, and very happy to start with this article, and the first chapters of Gilles Havard's _Histoire des Coureurs de bois_ 👌
