A fine copy bound in contemporary mottled calf gilt back trifle rubbed. Purporting to be the authentic memoirs of the soldier adventurer and privateer Beauchêne after the manuscript communicated by his widow to Lesage but probably greatly amplified and modified by the latter. Although the authenticity of the memoirs has been disputed there is no doubt as to the real historical existence of the swashbuckling hero who was born near Montreal. "The Chevalier de Beauchêne Indian Scout and pirate ranged over large portions of North America. At one point he set out for Detroit with Cadillac who when he discovered that Beachêne was carrying too much eau-de-vie returned the Chevalier to Montreal and prison." Lande The publisher's preface states that Beauchêne having amassed a small fortune in privateering went to France where he squandered it all and was killed in a brawl in Tours. His death certificate dated Dec. 11 1731 has in fact been found in the parish registers of that city. TPL 172. Vlach 467. Dionne II 399n. Gagnon I 2091n.
