Synopsis

Chronique De Rimouski by Charles Guay. This French-language historical chronicle surveys Rimouski, Quebec, from its geography and the origin of its name to the early Micmac inhabitants and the colonial seigneuries. Guay compiles archival notes, letters, and testimonies to recount the rise of Rimouski’s parish, the arrival of the first settlers (the Lepage and St.-Laurent families), and the seigneurial grants that shaped the town. The volume also tells the legend of Toussaint Cartier, the Hermit of Saint-Barnabé, and narrates maritime episodes such as the shipwrecks of La Macrée and the Anse au Senau, interwoven with the founding of chapels and the construction of churches, including the cathedral. It culminates with the 19th-century ecclesiastical reorganization that created the diocese of Saint-Germain de Rimouski and the consecration of Mgr. Langevin, marking Rimouski’s emergence as a regional center of faith, education, and civic life.
