notes:
Claude Le Beau was the son of a good family who was transported as a prisoner, probably for the crime of libertinism, to Canada. The ship on which he sailed, the Eléphant, was wrecked on September 1, 1729, at Cape Brûle, about 30 miles from Quebec. The crew and passengers were saved. In 1731 he was condemned to death for running away and was hanged and garroted in effigy. Nevertheless, he reached Boston and sailed from there to Holland where his adventures were first published in 1738.Translation, by Johann Bernhard Nack, of Avantures du Sr. C. Le Beau, ..., ou, Voyage curieux et nouveau parmis les sauvages de l'Amérique septentrionale, Amsterdam, 1738. For a different translation, by Wilhelm Ernst Burckhard Rosler, see Geschichte des Herrn C. Le Beau., Erfurt, 1752 with a different version of this image at 02597-3.
