LA CORNE, Pierre, Chevalier de, French-Canadian soldier. He was with Sieur Joncaire on an embassy to the Indians of Niagara in 1720. In 1747, with M. de St. Pierre, he defeated the Indians at Lachine Rapids, went to Acadia with De Ramezay, and succeeded to the command when that officer was wounded at Grand Pre. In 1749 he was sent, with Father La Loutre, to seduce the Acadians from their allegiance to Great Britain, and to induce them to remove north of the Bay of Fundy, but failed in the attempt. At this time he is said to have commanded about 2,500 men. For the ten years succeeding he was actively employed in Canada. He was wounded in the action at the Rapids, Lake Ontario, in 1759, was in command of colonial troops, and was again wounded at the capture of Quebec. His knowledge of Indian languages made him of great service to the government.
