Voyages of Samuel de Champlain V2 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162716121)

The Voyages Of Samuel De Champlain V2 is a historical book written by Samuel De Champlain, a French explorer and cartographer who is known as the ""Father of New France"". This book is a detailed account of his voyages and travels in North America during the early 17th century, including his interactions with the indigenous people, his exploration of the St. Lawrence River and the Great Lakes, and his founding of Quebec City.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a specific voyage or expedition undertaken by Champlain. The first chapter describes his first voyage to the New World in 1603, where he explored the coast of Acadia and met with the Mi'kmaq people. The subsequent chapters detail his travels along the St. Lawrence River, his expeditions to the interior of North America, and his establishment of trading posts and alliances with various indigenous tribes.Throughout the book, Champlain provides a vivid and detailed description of the landscape, flora, and fauna of the regions he explored, as well as the customs and traditions of the native peoples he encountered. He also includes maps and illustrations to further illustrate his travels and discoveries.Overall, The Voyages Of Samuel De Champlain V2 is a fascinating historical account of one of the most important explorers of the early modern period and provides valuable insights into the early history of North America.In the first place, there are at its entrance several islands distant ten or twelve leagues from the main land, which are in latitude 44 deg., and 18 deg. 40' of the deflection of the magnetic needle. The Isle des Monts Deserts forms one of the extremities of the mouth, on the east; the other is low land, called by the savages Bedabedec, [95] to the west of the former, the two being distant from each other nine or ten leagues. Almost midway between these, out in the ocean, there is another island very high and conspicuous, which on this account I have named Isle Haute. [96] All around there is a vast number of varying extent and breadth, but the largest is that of the Monts Deserts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
