Fort Vieux Logis was a small British frontier fort built at present-day Hortonville, Nova Scotia, Canada (formerly part of Grand Pre) in 1749, during Father Le Loutre's War (1749).〔Northeast Archaeological Research http://www.northeastarch.com/vieux_logis.html〕〔Beamish Murdoch. A History of Nova Scotia. Vol. 2. p. 226〕 Ranger John Gorham moved a blockhouse he erected in Annapolis Royal in 1744 to the site of Vieux Logis.〔http://www.northamericanforts.com/Canada/ns.html#mohawk〕〔http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/mohawk-monument-annapolis-royal-nova-scotia.htm〕〔The fort at Annapolis Royal was named Fort Mohawk (first built by Mohawks under Major John Livingston in 1712).〕 〔https://archive.org/stream/historyofkingsco00eato#page/426/mode/2up〕 The fort was in use until 1754.〔https://archive.org/stream/selectionsfrompu00nova#page/n115/mode/1up〕〔https://archive.org/stream/selectionsfrompu00nova#page/n118/mode/1up〕 The British rebuilt the fort again during the French and Indian War and named it Fort Montague (1760). The site of the fort is near the field where the Acadian Cross and the New England Planter's monument are located. Despite archeological efforts, the exact location of the fort is unknown.〔(Fort Vieux Logis )〕 Despite the British Conquest of Acadia in 1710, Nova Scotia remained primarily occupied by Catholic Acadians and Mi'kmaq. During King George's War, the British tried to occupy further up the Bay of Fundy, starting with Grand Pre. They built a palisade which was involved with in the Siege of Grand Pre. ==Father Le Loutre’s War == Father Le Loutre's War began when Edward Cornwallis arrived to establish Halifax with 13 transports on June 21, 1749.〔Grenier, John. The Far Reaches of Empire. War in Nova Scotia, 1710-1760. Norman: U of Oklahoma P, 2008; Thomas Beamish Akins. History of Halifax, Brookhouse Press. 1895. (2002 edition). p 7〕 By unilaterally establishing Halifax the British were violating earlier treaties with the Mi'kmaq (1726), which were signed after Father Rale's War.〔Wicken, p. 181; Griffith, p. 390; Also see http://www.northeastarch.com/vieux_logis.html〕 The British quickly began to build other settlements. To guard against Mi'kmaq, Acadian and French attacks on the new Protestant settlements, British fortifications were erected in Halifax (1749), Bedford (Fort Sackville) (1749), Dartmouth (1750), Lunenburg (1753) and Lawrencetown (1754).〔John Grenier. ''The Far Reaches of Empire: War in Nova Scotia, 1710-1760.'' Oklahoma University Press.〕 Within 18 months of establishing Halifax, the British also took firm control of peninsula Nova Scotia by building fortifications in all the major Acadian communities: present-day Windsor (Fort Edward); Grand Pre (Fort Vieux Logis) and Chignecto (Fort Lawrence). (A British fort already existed at the other major Acadian centre of Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia. Cobequid remained without a fort.)〔 The fort was created to help prevent the Acadian Exodus from the region.〔Salusbury, Expeditions of Honour edited by Rompkey p. 91〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fort Vieux Logis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
