editThis article contains significant inaccuracies and omissions despite reliable sources such as the Dictionary of Canadian Biography. Courcelle was subordinate to Prouville de Tracy until August 1667. In the winter of 1666, Tracy authorized Courcelle to lead an expedition against the Mohawk, however, it was a disaster because the soldiers of the Carignan-Salières Regiment were ill-equipped to deal with the cold and snow. The expedition briefly skirmished with the Mohawk outside of Schnectady but did not take any prisoners. Tracy himself led a much more successful expedition in the fall of 1666 that destroyed four Mohawk villages. Griffin's Sword (talk) 16:31, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
