This 187-page softcover volume, in a large 8 ½ x 11-inch format, contains the annotated burials of L'Assomption de la pointe de Montréal du Détroit 1768-1805 (present-day Assumption, Windsor, Ontario). This work will be of great interest to historians, independent scholars, and anyone who is interested in the fascinating history of the Detroit River River. This new book should be considered a companion to Burials of Ste Anne du Détroit 1706-1805. Together they complete the beginning story of the Detroit River Region. The current book covers a pivotal period in the formation of the community on the Detroit River, as its numbers expanded in the mid-eighteenth century to the south shore of the River, in what is today Windsor, Ontario, Canada. The collection of records of burials at L'Assomption parish, including those of Indigenous peoples and the enslaved, are careful translations of original French text found in records of the church and the Programme de recherche en demographie historique (PRDH), supplemented by archival research.
