"The Founder of New France: A Chronicle of Champlain" by Charles W. Colby is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the life and exploits of Samuel de Champlain, an important figure in the exploration and colonization of North America. The narrative covers Champlain’s adventurous early years, his military background, his aspirations to establish a French colony, and ultimately his role in founding Quebec, encapsulating the quest for knowledge and the establishment of French influence in the New World. The opening of the book introduces readers to Champlain’s upbringing and early experiences, immensely shaping his character and pioneering spirit. It paints a portrait of a man deeply affected by the tumultuous historical context of 16th-century France, marked by religious wars. Colby details Champlain's first voyages and the challenges he faced, including military campaigns, ambitions for trade, and interactions with Indigenous peoples, setting the stage for a life dedicated to discovery and colonization. The narrative promises an exploration of Champlain's significant achievements in mapping and settling New France while hinting at the trials that would accompany his endeavors.
