He was lieutenant and captain in the colonial regular troops, first lieutenant general of the royal jurisdiction of Montreal, receiver of beaver for the Compagnie de la Colonie, trader, entrepreneur, founder of a tannery on the Ohio River. He was probably sincere in wishing to establish a permanent French settlement, as well as tannery for quick profits. He had been successful he would have served the colony as well as himself; a firm nucleus of French power in the Illinois country at that time might have drastically altered the course of empire west of the Alleghenies.
