Excerpt from The Founder of New France a Chronicle of Champlain Champlain's middle life - the period which lies between his first voyage to the St Lawrence and his return from the land of the Onondagas. Not that he had ended his work in 1616. The un agging efforts which he continued to put forth on behalf of the starving colony at Quebec demand all praise. But the years during which he was incessantly engaged in exploration show him at the height of his powers, with health still unimpaired by expo sure and with a soul that courted the unknown.

Book Description
This biography tells the remarkable story of Samuel de Champlain, a French explorer who founded Quebec and New France in the early 17th century. Born into a family of sailors, Champlain made between 21 and 29 trips across the Atlantic Ocean, exploring and mapping North America's coasts and waterways. He formed deep relationships with local tribes and learned their languages, publishing accounts of his ethnographic observations. Champlain oversaw the growth of New France and established trading companies, sending goods to France. Today, his legacy lives on in the many places and structures named after him in northeastern North America.

The Chronicles of Canada was a Canadian literary landmark. First published in 1914, it was a series of thirty-two, short, concise, freshly-written historical narratives for the lay person. It was designed to set forth, with historical continuity, the principal events and movements in Canada-from the Norse Voyages to the Railway Builders-and it quickly became a classic.
