One, Jacques Le Moyne de Sainte-Hélène, led French and Indian forces in the Schenectady massacre. Charles le Moyne de Longueuil, Baron de Longueuil, was governor of Montreal. Another, Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville, founded New Orleans. Jacques and Paul LeMoyne were with him on James Bay, and Joseph LeMoyne was with him in Louisiana. Le Moyne d'Iberville was raised Catholic under the Jesuit order. Parish records indicate that, at the age of 12, he received the religious sacrament of First Communion.〔Nellis Maynard Crouse, Lemoyne d'Iberville: Soldier of New France (Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1954), 7.〕 D'Iberville received his formal education at a Sulpician seminary, where his academic knowledge was also embedded with religion.〔Nellis Maynard Crouse. Lemoyne d’Iberville: Soldier of New France (Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1954), 8.〕 Destined for the priesthood, he chose a life of adventure. At the age of 12, he became a cabin boy on his uncle's ship trading to Port Royal, Acadia. A few years later he was in the fur trade at Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario where he would have learned something of canoe travel in the wilderness. He later became quartermaster on one of his father's ships. 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「Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
