On November 13, 1689, the Iroquois massacred the settlement of La Chesnaye, 20 miles from Fort Ville-Marie (Montreal).  Twenty people died.

There are many sites covering this unfortunate event. A few of my favourites are:

CBC’s Lachine Massacre.

 

R.D. Garneau’s Quebec 1670 – 1689 Quebec Culture.
