Summary "L'amiral Du Casse, Chevalier de la Toison d'Or (1646-1715)" by Du Casse is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the life and career of Jean du Casse, a notable figure in the French naval history during the reign of Louis XIV, illustrating his significant contributions to France's maritime and colonial endeavors in Africa and beyond. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces Jean du Casse, detailing his early life, education, and rise within the ranks of the French marine. The text emphasizes his intelligence and leadership qualities, which lead to his appointment as the chief of the French forces in Senegal in 1677. The opening chapters set the scene for du Casse’s military and diplomatic exploits, including his encounters with the Dutch and his successful campaigns that solidified French control over various African territories during a time of significant political turmoil in Europe.
