=Three Rivers.= City of Quebec, at the mouth of St. Maurice River. First
colonists settled there in 1633; the Jesuits arrived the following year;
and the same year a fort was built by Laviolette, who is regarded as the

scene of almost constant conflict with the Iroquois. In 1670 the Jesuits
were replaced by the Recollets; and in 1697 the Ursulines established a
convent. =Index=: =L= Recollet mission at, 111. =WM= French provision
