But immigration from France was slow prior to the mid-1600s and there was a need to relocate the multitude of workmen who lacked employment in France. Many of the young men who immigrated during this time frame were engaged to serve (3 to 6 years) in New France as ploughmen, diggers, pit men, etc. (among the lowest paid people). These young men began to "seek their fortunes" engaging in the fur trade without permission from French authorities . . . i.e. coureurs de bois . . . woods runners.
