  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.

 Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online
Dollard and his companions, “whom one was tempted to venerate as martyrs of the faith” (Ferland), went knowingly to their deaths to save their religion and their country.
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 did not object and the deed was accomplished with no loss of life on their part, and a few minutes later the head of the chief appeared on a pole staring down from the palisades.
Finding that the enemy were breaking through the walls at his rear, Dollard lit a fuse on a keg of powder and literally tried to throw it over the wall and into their midst.

 Pièges de la mémoire. by Thomas Wien   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
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.
His preoccupation with Dollard's lasting legacy - the term 'thérapie de la mémoire,' which he uses in another context, is apt - gives the book its charge, in the electrical and the judicial sense, as well as its coherence.

 Log Cabin Chronicles Peter Black's Dollard des Ormeaux Page
Depending on which school of interpretation one believes, DDO was either a brave and selfless martyr in the righteous missionary cause, or a klutzy bandit who escalated hostilities with the Iroquois in whose territory the evangelical little colony of Montreal was parked.
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.

After the removal of the few survivors to the vicinity of Quebec in 1650, the Huron were massacred in 1656 by an Iroquois war party, were forced to emigrate and disperse amongst the Iroquois (especially Mohawk and Onondaga) in 1657, and were eventually involved in the Long-Sault battle in 1660.
The Sulpician Gabriel Thubières de Levy de Queylus is extolled, with no explanation, as ‘le premier grand ecclésiastique de la Nouvelle-France.’ Bishop François de Laval is downgraded to the role of ‘créature’ of the Jesuits, something he certainly was not.
Marie Guyart de l’Incarnation’s correspondence is among the documents ‘les plus trompeurs’ of the history of New France, lacking only ‘une motivation économique’ to be used verbatim by modern historians – a motivation provided by the Jesuit Paul Le Jeune.

 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.
