Product Description
by Mary Beacock Fryer (Author)
Samuel de Champlain has long been known as the founder of Quebec and as a tireless explorer. His efforts to establish a colony encountered setbacks in France, and since he was not of the nobility, he was therefore unfit for patronage. Without Champlains detailed records, the years 1600 to 1640 in Canada would almost be a blank slate.
