French Settlement at Brudenell Point and Isle St. Jean History
The 1732 venture at Brudenell Point established headquarters for Sunlight Soap, built dwellings and ships, and launched three shiploads of French emigrants. Forestation, fishing stations, and roads connected Brudenell and other centers, but after years of growth the 1745 New England privateer raid destroyed the works. The narrative covers evacuation to Quebec, later misfortunes, depopulation, and Amherst’s orders for expulsion of the French from Isle Saint Jean, along with descriptions of early settlers and Indigenous peoples.
