Caption: Map of d'Iberville's 1686 and 1696 campaigns

This map shows the path taken by two of the expeditions sent from New France against English colonies in North America. Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville et d’Ardillières was a young man on his first campaign in 1686 when Pierre de Troyes led 100 men overland to Hudson Bay. By 1896, d'Iberville was a famous commander in his own right. In that year he returned to Hudson Bay and also captured English settlements in Maine and Newfoundland.
