Description: Champlain's search for fruitful areas of the New World to colonize for France is the foundation for this biography. An accomplished cartographer, author, and navigator, Champlain created some of the most valuable maps of the New World. He eventually "discovered" the lake that bears his name and founded the Canadian city of Quebec. Richly illustrated with the explorer's own drawings, maps, and words, this title brings Champlain's world to life.

Review Quotes: "Each book is refreshingly frank offering a warts and all portrait. The illustrations include many excellent period paintings, prints, and maps clearly reproduced in color. RECOMMENDED."
