"The primary aim of this work is to describe an early ironworks that was one of the most significant legacies of French colonial rule in Canada. With a view to synthesis, this work takes the form of an industrial monograph. Each aspect—the management of the Forges; the key element of mineral, timber and water resources; the industrial plant and processes; ironworking; the Forges wares; the working population; and finally the industrial village will be discussed in turn in order to capture as faithfully as possible the social and technical world of the St Maurice Forges, Canada's first industrial community"--Introduction, pages 10-11.
