About this ebook
Called the "Father of New France," Samuel de Champlain was a French navigator and explorer who founded New France and Quebec City in the early 1600s. Celebrated in Canadian history, Champlain made the first accurate map of the country's Eastern coast. Champlain began exploring North America in 1603. From 1604 to 1607, he participated in the first permanent European settlement north of Florida, Port Royal, Acadia. In 1608, he established the French settlement known today as Quebec City. Champlain went on to be the first European to explore and describe the Great Lakes and published books about his experiences with various Native American tribes. Today, many monuments, streets and natural landmarks bear his name.
