CHAMPLAIN'S BATTLE WITH THE IROQUOIS ON LAKE CHAMPLAIN
[ [1] ] From the "Voyages of Samuel de Champlain," as published by the Prince Society of Boston in 1878, the translation being by Charles Pomeroy Otis.
Samuel de Champlain, who has been called "The Father of New France," was born in Brouage, France, in 1567, and died in Quebec in 1635. Parkman accepts this title as just, and adds that in Champlain were embodied the religious zeal of New France and her romantic spirit of adventure. Champlain's first explorations in America were made in 1603-07. Quebec was founded by him in 1608, and Lake Champlain discovered in 1609.
[ [2] ] Now called the Richelieu River.
[ [3] ] Lake Champlain.
