La Tour had attacked a trading post …
Years: 1635 - 1635
La Tour had attacked a trading post established at Machias, Maine, by merchants from Massachusetts in 1633, killing two guards, taking the other three prisoners and goods with him back to Cape Sable.
A Boston merchant named Allerton, who had interests in the Machias post, had sailed to La Tour in 1634 to demand the prisoners and goods.
La Tour had replied that the Machias post was in French territory and he had acted in the name of the French king.
Razilly uses this incident to identify the Kennebec River, near Portland, Maine, as the line at which the English must not cross.
