Samuel de Champlain: Father of New France
List Price: $10.00 DescriptionCustomer ReviewsRe-enactment of a remarkable voyageProfessor Morison and his wife retraced the route of Samuel de Champlain as he sailed to the unexplored coasts of North America in the very early 1600's. This is a fascinating story, showing the east coast as it was then, with illustrations by Champlain himself in the form of his harbor charts, which were accurate enough to remain in use for some 200 years, and include his pencil sketches of events that made each harbor especially memorable. One of the most interesting aspects of the book is the extraordinary rapport Champlain established with most of the native populations he encountered in his efforts to find the best headquarters for "New France." History buffs will love this book! First Governor of Quebec Samuel Champlain is famous in American history for fighting one of the first Indian battles on the shores of Lake Champlain. In Canadian history he is significantly more famous, because he was, in real terms, the founder of New France. Morrison, one of the great naval historians America has ever produced, emphasizes his nautical achievements, but also tracks his exploration of the Canadian interior as well as his years of isolation in the nascent Quebec colony. A splendid outline of this titan of French Canadian history. Champlain Samuel News
