By this we attract and bring to our own land all kinds of riches; by it the idolatry of paganism is overthrown, and christianity proclaimed throughout all the regions of the earth. This is the art . . . which led me to explore the coasts of a portion of America, especially those of New France, where I have always desired to see the lily flourish, together with the only religion catholic, Apostolic and Roman.

Back to Modern History SourceBook Modern History Sourcebook: Samuel de Champlain: The Foundation of Quebec, 1608 HAVING returned to France after a stay of three years in New France, I proceeded to Sieur de Monts, and related to him the principal events of which I had been a witness since his departure, and gave him the map and plan of the most remarkable coasts and harbors there. Some time afterward Sieur de Monts determined to continue his undertaking, and complete the exploration of the interior along the great river St. Lawrence, where I had been by order of the late King Henry the Great in the year 1603, for a distance of some hundred and eighty leagues, commencing in latitude 48 E 40', that is, at Gaspé, at the entrance of the river, as far as the great fall, which is in latitude 45 E and some minutes, where our exploration ended, and where boats could not pass as we then thought, since we had not made a careful examination of it as we have since done. Now, after Sieur de Monts had conferred with me several times in regard to his purposes concerning the exploration, he resolved to continue so noble and meritorious an undertaking, notwithstanding the hardships and labors of the past. He honored me with his lieutenancy for the voyage; and, in order to carry out his purpose, he had two vessels equipped, one commanded by Pont Gravé, who was commissioned to trade with the savages of the country and bring back the vessels, while I was to winter in the country.

Search ( Enter the name of an historical figure, event or issue) Full text search France and the Age of Exploration Up to the eve of the explosion of European exploratory and colonizing activity, France had been embroiled in the enervating Hundred Years War (1337-1453). That series of conflicts started in a quarrel over the succession to the French throne; Edward III of England had made a claim. French military defeats were compounded by the horror of the Black Death, the predations of lawless, marauding gangs in the countryside, and a bloody peasant revolt. If that were not enough, the French also suffered humiliating peace agreements and loss of territory to their English rivals. The tides of the conflict began to shift in favor of the French in the 15th century. Joan of Arc led her countrymen to a stirring victory at Orléans in 1429. By 1453, the English presence was reduced to the single city of Calais on the English Channel across from Dover. Considerable order and prosperity was returned to France, particularly during the regime of Louis XI (ruled 1461-83), when the king consolidated power at the expense of jealous local nobles. By 1500, France was regarded as a major power in Europe, but would once again become involved in protracted warfare, this time with the commanding House of Hapsburg as its major rival.

Samuel de Champlain c. 1570 - 1635 Biography Born into a seafaring family on the Atlantic coast of France, Champlain crossed the Atlantic over twenty times. His voyages took him up the St. Lawrence River to the future site of Montreal; to Quebec City, which he founded in 1608; to the coasts of what would become New England and Canada's Maritime provinces; and inland to Georgian Bay. These extensive coastal and interior explorations enabled France to make solid claims to much of North America at a time when the English were just beginning to settle Virginia. Champlain also cultivated strong friendships with many Native Americans, including the Montagnais, the Algonkians, and the Hurons, with whom he joined forces to fight their enemy, the Iroquois. He recorded his explorations in such works as Des Sauvages Les Voyages Voyages et Descouvertures (1619), and Les Voyages de la Nouvelle France (1632), his final and largest publication. Explorations If Champlain is remembered as a forefather of the French settlement of what is now Quebec, he is also remembered as one of the most careful and voluminous writers about the exploration of the New World. Compared to Harriot's Brief and True Report , Champlain's Voyages (1613) is loaded with detail and seems much more modern, scientific, and professional. The interactions which he describes with native peoples are complex, and he is careful to distinguish among the various groups whom he and his men encounter.

Glossary of Exploration Terms Samuel de Champlain: Explorer Samuel de Champlain (1567?-1635) was a French explorer and navigator who mapped much of northeastern North America and started a settlement in Quebec. Champlain also discovered the lake named for him (Lake Champlain, on the border of northern New York state and Vermont , named in 1609) and was important in establishing and administering the French colonies in the New World. In 1603, Champlain sailed to France on Francois Grave Du Pont's expedition. They sailed up the St. Lawrence River and the Saguenay River; they also explored the Gaspe Peninsula. He returned to France in 1603, and decided to search for a Northwest Passage and to settle the Gaspe Peninsula. He returned to Canada in 1604 on Pierre de Mont's expedition. From 1604-1607, he sailed around and charted most of the coast of Nova Scotia (to the Bay of Fundy) and down the coast to Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard (
