Claude Le Beau was a Swiss by birth. In the first chapter of this work he gives an account of his early life, and states that he embarked
for Canada from La Rochelle in the spring of 1729. In Canada he lived with the Iroquois, the Hurons and the Algonquins. His
first name is given in full in the Frankfort editions: “Des Herrn. Claudii Le Beau . . .”
