Louis Boulduc

Louis Boulduc was a French soldier from 1665 to 1668 and settler of New France. He served in the CarignanSalires Regiment and helped build new forts along the Richelieu River, the principal route of the Iroquois marauders.

Louis was the first Boulduc settler in the New World. Louis Boulduc had originated from St. Benoit de Paris, IledeFrance. He was born to a family from which a branch was later ennobled, his nephew GillesFranois Boulduc . It would appear that Louis completed some studies prior to choosing to serve his country under the flag. He came to Canada in the regiment of Carignan, in the company of Mr. Hector Andign De Grandfontaine in 1665. Louis came to Quebec in this capacity, on August 17, 1665. His mission, like that of the other soldiers was to prevent the Iroquois from using the Richelieu River to raid the colonists within TroisRivire and Montreal. Louis received his leave of the army between the end of 1667 and the beginning of 1668.
