Jean Talon

Here is some info on Jean Talon.

Jean Talon was the the first intendant of New France. He served for two terms from 1665 to 1672. The intendant’s job was to be the intendant of Justice, Public Order and Finances in Canada. His Legacy remains as the saviour of New France from extreme poverty and establishing a firm government. He conducted a properly and well established supply of info and tools to repel the Native Iroquois.

Jean also made it an enticing option for french people to come to the new world. He built small houses before the French people would get to the new world so they didn’t start from scratch. He successfully got the population of his town to 10 000+. He encouraged population growth by offering money for having large family’s. Jean inherited this settlement that has had all its progress stalled almost to stop.

Jean had to extinguish this fire of rage between the settlers and the Native Iroquois one way or another. He contributed to the effort by supplying abundant supplies to the army. By doing this he was able to effectively defend against the “Blood Thirsty Natives”. This allowed for a more effective trading and development.

Jean returned to France as an even more wealthier and more respected man leaving behind a well established settlement. Though the foundation for a prospering settlement was set it was not meant to be. It took New France 3 years to appoint a new leader and the settlement wasn’t half of what it was with the presence of Jean Talon. Jean Talon is remembered as the saviour of the New France Colony.
