Early Detroit
By an arrangement made with the Company of the Colony in 1702, they were to pay De la Motte 2, 000 francs a year and furnish his supplies, and it became his duty to prevent others than the agents of the company engaging in trade in furs.
His lieutenant was M. de Tonty, brother of the Chevalier de Tonty, the friend and companion of De La Salle. He persisted in violating the rights of the company by trading on his own account, and De la Motte reported him at Montreal.
