	Adam Dollard des Ormeaux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Adam Dollard des Ormeaux, (1635 – May, 1660), usually known simply as Dollard des Ormeaux, was a colonist of New France who, as garrison commander, led his companions from the fort of the newly founded town of Ville Marie (also known as Montreal) in 1660 to ambush a larger force of Iroquois.
		The deaths of Dollard des Ormeaux and his men were recounted by Catholic nuns and entered into official Church history.
		Whatever remained of the myth of Dollard faded away in the 1960s as church attendance and religiosity declined in Quebec, and as a new generation of Quebec historians worked at debunking all myths, as part of the spirit of total change that came with the Quiet Revolution.

		Adam Dollard des Ormeaux and his sixteen French companions, none of whom survived the engagement, influenced the course of events, but mostly on account of the tragic errors they committed.
		Dollard was now the consummate hero, if not a martyr who enthusiastically carried out his divine errand, laying down his life for his colony and his religion.
		Emerging in the last third of the nineteenth century, the cult of Dollard blossomed in the second and third decades of the twentieth, beginning with the 250th anniversary of 1910.

		Father Chaumonot, whose account was reproduced verbatim by Marie de l’Incarnation in a letter to her son dated 25 June 1660, writes: “In the month of April 1660, 17 gallant French volunteers from Montreal formed the project of risking their lives to go to prepare an ambush for the Iroquois.
		Hastening there, Dollard’s troop forced a party of Iroquois to scatter into the woods, but they were too late to save the three Frenchmen who were the victims of this attack: Nicolas Duval had been killed and his companions, Blaise Juillet and Mathurin Soulard, had been drowned while trying to escape from the enemy.

		Dollard bought the colony some breathing space from native attacks, the line goes, although almost non-stop warfare with the Mohawks continued until a peace pact was agreed to in 1701.
		The other version is that Dollard, a humble grad of the French army, seeking to heap glory and riches upon himself, mounted an ambush party to raid the Iroquois returning south in the spring, canoes weighted down by beaver pelts, but lightened of ammunition.
		On the other hand, Vachon argues, Dollard's exploits are matched by dozens of other heroes to the French in their struggle to wrench the New World from its earlier inhabitants.

	Micheline's Put-in - What's in a name?
		On November 24th 2002, "la Fête de Dollard de Ormeaux" was changed to "la Journée des Patriotes" (Patriot's Day) in order to commemorate the defence of the French civic rights by the Patriots from 1837 to 1838.
		In the case of "la Fête de Dollard de Ormeaux", renaming the holiday to depict specific patriots (which to my understanding are men who were blatantly against the British rule), denies the glory of des Ormeaux, a man who actually fought for this land.
		This is not to mention the level of insult that is inherent in the deliberate removal of des Ormeaux from the "patriot" category.
