Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book includes two historical texts, one from 1609 and the other from 1615, recounting French explorer Samuel de Champlain's two expeditions into what is now upstate New York and Canada. The first describes Champlain's initial journey up the Richelieu River, through the lake that now bears his name, and to the site of the future city of Ticonderoga, where he encountered the Iroquois Confederacy in battle. The second text narrates Champlain's voyage up the Ottawa River, across Lake Nipissing, and into Georgian Bay, where he allied with the Huron people in their battles with the Iroquois. These accounts provide invaluable historical insight into the European exploration of North America, the complex political dynamics between Native American tribes, and the devastating effects of European diseases on indigenous populations.
