  • The authorship of the work was denied by Tonti, who asserted "qu'elle n'étoit point de lui, mais d'un aventurier parisien, qui l'avoit composée sur de mauvais mémoires, & la lui avoit attribuée, pour lui donner cours". See: Charlevois, Histoire ... de la Nouvelle France, tome 2, 1744, page 260. The compiler, however, probably based his narrative on some of Tonti's letters. See: Harrisse, Notes pour servir à l'histoire ... de la Nouvelle-France, 1872, page 169-171; and Margry, Relations et mémoires inédits, 1867, page 1-36
