La Jonquiere Jacques-pierre De Taffanel Marquis De
Rear-admiral
under d'Anville in the disastrous expedition against Acadia, 1746.
Commanded another expedition with a similar purpose, 1747, which was
defeated by Anson and Warren. Captured and held for a time in England as
prisoner of war. Governor of Canada, 1749-1752. His administration
marked by nothing that would further the welfare of the colony; but
rather by a determined effort to enrich himself at the expense of the
country. =Bib.=: Parkman, Half-Century of Conflict and Montcalm and
