=Cabot, John.= Probably a native of Genoa. Became a citizen of Venice, March 28, 1476, and at that time had been a resident of the city for fifteen years. Went to England, and in 1497, under the direct authority of Henry VII, sailed to the westward on a voyage of discovery. Landed on the shores of America, but his exact landfall has been a moot point. It is now generally believed that it was the easternmost cape of Cape Breton. The following year sailed again, but there is no record that he ever returned from this second voyage. =Bib.=: Beazley, _John and Sebastian Cabot_; Dawson, _The Voyages of the Cabots_ (R. S. C., 1894, 1896, 1897); Deane, _Voyages of the Cabots_, in Winsor, _Nar. & Cr. Hist. of America_, vol. 3; Harrisse, _John Cabot, the Discoverer of North America_; Weare, _Cabot's Discovery of North America_; Ober. _John and Sebastian Cabot_. =Cabot, Sebastian= (1477?-1557?). Son of John Cabot. His share in the discovery of North America has been the subject of much controversy. From having once been regarded as the sole discoverer, it is now considered doubtful that he had anything to do with the voyages of 1497 and 1498. He was in the service of Spain, and also of England, receiving from Edward VI the title of Grand Pilot of England. =Bib.=: Biddle, _Memoir of Sebastian Cabot_; Nicholls, _Life of Sebastian Cabot_; Tarducci, _John and Sebastian Cabot_. These are favourable to Sebastian's claims. _See_ references under preceding entry for the other side of the controversy. =Cadboro.= =D= First sea-going vessel on Fraser River, 116; arrives at Victoria from Fort Vancouver, 180; leaves for the Columbia, 180; built 1824, destroyed 1862, 180. =Cadet, Joseph Michel.= Began life as a butcher; won the confidence of the intendant Bigot, and as commissary-general seconded him in his infamous schemes for plundering the colony. =Index=: =WM= Commissary of stores, 88; makes his headquarters at Beauport, 88; feeds his poultry with grain, while the people starve, 88. _See_ Bigot. =Cadieux.= A French _coureur de bois_, whose tragic death forms the subject of one of the popular _chansons_ of Quebec. His reputed grave is at the foot of Grand Calumet Island, on the Ottawa. =Bib.=: Le Moine, _Legends of the St. Lawrence_; Bourinot, _The Ottawa Valley_ in the _Canadian Monthly_, January, 1875; Gagnon, _Chansons Populaires_. =Cadillac, Antoine de la Motte.= Came to Canada as an officer of the Carignan Regiment. In 1694 appointed to the command of the post at Michilimackinac. In 1701 built a fort at Detroit, and remained in command there until 1710. From 1712-1717 governor of Louisiana. Subsequently appointed governor of Castel Sarassin, in Gascony, his native province. Died there Oct. 16, 1730. =Bib.=: Parkman, _Old Régime_; _Cadillac Papers_ (Michigan Pion. & Hist. _Coll._, vol. 33).
