Champlain’s Dream

Attribution
David Hackett Fischer
Publication Details
Book, 1st Simon & Schuster hardcover ed, Simon & Schuster, 2008
Links
Description
In this sweeping, enthralling biography, acclaimed historian David Hackett Fischer brings to life the remarkable Samuel de Champlain — soldier, spy, master mariner, explorer, cartographer, artist, and Father of New France. The historical record is unclear on whether Champlain was baptized Protestant or Catholic, but he fought in France’s religious wars for the man who would become Henri IV, one of France’s greatest kings, and like Henri, he was religiously tolerant in an age of murderous sectarianism. Throughout his three decades in North America, Champlain remained committed to a remarkable vision, a Grand Design for France’s colony. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
