Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: In 1692, Madeleine de Verchères, then only 14 years (1678-1747) of age, alone in Fort de Verchères with her two young brothers, an old servant, and two soldiers, took command and defended the post successfully for eight days against a war-party of Iroquois which ended in victory.
Madeleine de Verchères National Historic Site of Canada is located in a small landscaped park in Verchères. The site consists of a 7.2 meter (23.6ft) high bronze statue of Madeleine de Verchères on top of a tapered tower with a square stone base, which faces the St. Lawrence River. The monument was erected in 1913. |
