Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville
Encyclopedia
Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville [pronounced as described in note] (16 July 1661 – 9 July 1702 (probable)
was a soldier, ship captain, explorer, colonial administrator, knight of the order of Saint-Louis, adventurer, privateer, trader, and founder of the French colony of Louisiana
of New France
. He is probably the most famous son of New France and the first great Canadian adventurer born in North America.
He was born at Ville-Marie, now Montreal, Canada
, the third son of Charles Le Moyne
, a native of Dieppe in France
and lord of Longueuil
in Canada
, and of Catherine Primot. He is also known as Sieur d'Iberville
However, residents of the Mississippi Gulf Coast pronounce
his last name as "Dee-EYE-burr-Vill", and the city of
D'Iberville, MS, is also pronounced that way.
or Sieur d'Iberville et d'Ardillières.
He had eleven brothers, most of whom were soldiers. One, Jacques Le Moyne de Sainte-Hélène
was in charge during the Schenectady massacre
. Charles le Moyne de Longueuil, Baron de Longueuil
was governor of Montreal. Another, Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville, founded New Orleans. Paul and Jacques were with him on James Bay and Joseph with him in Louisiana. Destined for the priesthood, he chose a life of adventure. At the age of 12, he became a cabin boy on his uncle's ship trading to Port Royal, Nova Scotia
. A few years later he was in the fur trade at Sault Saint Marie where he would have learned something of canoe travel in the wilderness. He later became quartermaster on one of his father's ships.
. The Hudson's Bay Company
was founded in 1670. This diverted furs away from Quebec and threatened further expansion into French territory. In 1682, the Compagnie du Nord was founded to compete with the English on the Bay. In 1686, the aggressive Governor General Denonville
decided to drive out the English even though the two countries were at peace. Under the command of Pierre de Troyes, Chevalier de Troyes
, D'Iberville his brothers Paul and Jacques led the Canadian woodsmen on the Hudson Bay expedition (1686)
. He played a heroic part in the capture of the fort at Moose Factory. At Fort-Rupert, he captured the sloop Craven and killed at least one unarmed sailor. As a result the French seized all three English posts on James Bay, leaving the English only York Factory which was far to the northwest and inaccessible by land. De Troyes left in august, 1686, leaving D'Iberville in charge with 40 men. The following summer, when no supplies arrived, Iberville left 12 men at the forts and went first south to Quebec and then to France. In France, he lobbied for the Compagnie and obtained command of the Soleil D'Afrique and returned to James Bay in the summer of 1688. There he captured
three HBC ships that were trying to re-establish their position on James Bay.
Returning to Quebec, he was caught up in King William's War
and diverted south to attack the British colonies (see below). In July 1690, he left Quebec with three ships in the hope of capturing York Factory. Finding himself outgunned by a larger English ship, he fled south and captured the new HBC base at Fort Severn
. In 1692 and 1693, he again planned to attack York Factory, but both times the needed ships were diverted. It was 1694 before he could effect the capture of York Factory
. His work was undone when the English recaptured Fort Albany in 1693 and York Factory in 1695. 1695 and 1696 were spent in coastal raiding. In 1697 he captured York Factory a second time in his most heroic battle
. It was too late in the season to capture Fort Albany, so he left Hudson Bay, never to return. York Factory remained French until 1713.
(1689-1697). In 1690, he was second in command to his brother Jacques in a raid south to New York (Schenectady Massacre
). In 1692, he convoyed supply ships from France and harassed the English costal settlements, taking three prizes. In 1694, he returned to the Bay and captured York Factory for the first time. In the spring of 1696, he sailed from France with three ships. Sending one to Quebec, he led the other two to the aid of the governor of Acadia
, Joseph Robineau de Villebon
, whom the English were blockading at the mouth of the Saint John River. He captured one enemy ship and drove the other two away. He then went 200 miles west and captured the most northerly settlement in New England (Siege of Pemaquid (1696)
, August 14). He then sailed east to Placentia
, the French capital of Newfoundland, and began the Avalon Peninsula Campaign
on November 1 during which he captured Saint John's and ruined most of the English fishing villages. During four months of raids, Iberville was responsible for the destruction of thirty-six settlements. The Newfoundland campaign was the cruelest and most destructive of Iberville's career (if one excepts Nevis). Before he could consolidate his hold on Newfoundland, he was diverted north to capture York Factory for a second time during the summer of 1697. Soon after his departure, the English arrived in Newfoundland with 2,000 troops and restored their position. Hostilities ended with the Treaty of Ryswick
in September 1697.
was the first European to travel from the Great Lakes down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. From the 1690s, the French began dreaming of building a great empire by linking the Saint Lawrence and Mississippi basins and bottling up the English on the east coast. This presented diplomatic problems because the Gulf coast was claimed, but not occupied, by Spain. Pontchartrain
, the minister for naval affairs and colonies gave Iberville the task of relocating the mouth of the Mississippi which La Salle had failed to find on his last voyage and to build a fort which would block the river to other nations. Iberville left Brest
with four ships in October 1698. He sailed along the Florida coast and past the new base the Spanish were building at Pensacola
. In March 1699, he entered the Birdfoot Delta
. It was only after meeting some Indians who recalled La Salle that he was sure that this was the Mississippi. Having achieved his first aim and finding no good sites in the delta, he built a temporary fort
at Biloxi, left a garrison of 81 men, and returned to France. On his second voyage he reached Biloxi on January 1700 and built a "Fort Mississipi" (sic) 40 miles up the Mississippi River. On his return journey, he is said to have stopped at New York and sold 9,000 furs that coureurs des bois had given him in preference to hauling them back to Montreal. (This story illustrates the benefits of the New Orleans area as a port, the size of the French presence on the Mississippi at this early date and Iberville's rather questionable business practices.) On his third voyage in February 1701, he built a second fort
at Mobile. Here, Henri Tonty aided him in establishing good relations with the Indians. He left Louisiana for the last time in April 1702. His brother Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville founded New Orleans in 1719.
, 1701-1714). Iberville had acquired malaria on the Gulf coast and both his health and judgment seem to have deteriorated. In early 1706, he left France in command of 12 vessels. From 1 to 22 April, he devastated the island of Nevis
and took the entire population prisoner. He went to Havana where he was involved in planning the Charles Town expedition
when he died suddenly, perhaps of yellow fever, in July 1702.
After his death, his estate became involved in an inquiry that dragged on for more than 30 years. Iberville had acquired a large fortune by uncertain means. The accounts of the West Indies expedition were hopelessly disorganized and there were accusations of embezzlement. His widow was forced to pay back a large part of her inheritance. Iberville was perhaps the first great soldier born in Canada. Students of the art of war may see his career as an example of the importance of following up after a victory; he won all his battles but was never able to consolidate what he had won.
