Parkman, Abbé Casgrain and Bougainville's Journal.

Discusses the relationship between Francis Parkman and Abbé Henri Raymond Casgrain, American and Canadian historians of the French regime in Canada, that lasted from 1866 until the former's death in 1893. The author pays particular attention to the Abbé's "dishonorable and most unfriendly act against Parkman," his suppression and denial to Parkman of the journal maintained by Louis Antoine de Bougainville as a captain and aide-de-camp to Montcalm during the French and Indian War. The author contends that the journal is the "best single piece of source material" on that war.
