DOLLARD DES ORMEAUX (called Daulat in his death certificate and Daulac by some historians), ADAM, soldier, “garrison commander of the fort of Ville-Marie [Montreal]”; b. , killed by the Iroquois at the Long Sault in May
Nothing is known of Dollard’s activities prior to his arrival in Canada except that “he had held some commands in the armies of France.” Having come to Montreal as a volunteer, very probably in , he continued his military career there. In and he was described as an “officer” or “garrison commander of the fort of Ville-Marie,” a title that he shared with Pierre Picoté de Belestre.

Nos dix-sept braves montréalais, après s’être disposés à la mort, et s’être juré les uns aux autres de se soutenir fidèlement, sans jamais demander quartier, allèrent attendre les chasseurs iroquois au-dessous du saut de la Chaudière (Faillon dit (II, page ) au pied du Long-Saut, au-dessous
du Saut dit de la Chaudière).
Là, ils eurent à peine le temps de réparer grossièrement un méchant petit fort, fermé de palissades à demi pourries, et de s’y enfermer à la hâte. L’on vit bientôt défiler les chasseurs onnontagués, la hache de guerre à la ceinture, les fusils rangés sur l’avant de leurs canots, pr
