Text of the page (random words):
army and became quartermaster of cavalry his uncle acting as pilot general of the spanish fleets conducted back to their own country the spanish soldiers who had served in france and was accompanied by his nephew who took command of the st julien in january 1599 he sailed in command of this vessel for the west indies and during two years and a half visited many of the islands landed at vera cruz proceeded inland as far as the city of mexico and returned by way of panama where he conceived the plan of a ship canal across the isthmus reaching spain in march 1601 a record of this voyage with views and charts was written by him and was first printed under the title of bref discours quebec 1870 though a translation had been previously printed in the publications of the hakluyt society on his return to france he received a pension from henry iv and upon being urged by commander de chaste governor of dieppe to explore territory granted to him in north america by the king with a view to founding a colony he sailed on 15 march 1603 in the ship of pontgrave on 24 may they anchored at tadoussac where the saguenay joins the st lawrence and soon afterward he pontgrave and a few men proceeded up the river in a boat until stopped by the rapids of st louis above montreal which was the limit of cartier s discoveries in 1535 returning to tadoussac champlain examined both sides of the river and subsequently explored the st lawrence down to gasp he sailed for france in august and published the same year his first volume des sau rages giving an account of his explorations and discoveries the commander de chaste having died in the meantime his privileges were transferred to du guay sieur de monts who made an engagement with champlain with the intention of founding a settlement in acadia and they sailed together arriving at sable island 1 may 1604 coasting along nova scotia they finally determined to form a settlement on the island of st croix so named by de monts in the river of the same name which divides new brunswick from the united states not finding the place suitable after passing a winter there they removed to port royal adjacent to the present annapolis during 1604 6 champlain explored the coast as far as cape cod making careful surveys and maps as he progressed he returned to france in 1607 and having suggested to de monts the importance of establishing a trading post on the st lawrence he and pontgrave were sent out in 1608 and after reaching tadoussac they continued up the st lawrence to a place called by the algonquins quebec or the narrows champlain decided upon forming a settlement here but had scarcely begun to clear the ground for the erection of buildings when a plot to assassinate him was discovered at quebec he erected houses sowed grain and did all he could to develop the fur trade and in a short time the settlement began to grow having become friendly with the montagnais an indian tribe on the st lawrence in 1609 he joined them in an expedition against the iroquois while in pursuance of this project they were met by a party of algonquins and hurons and accompanied by them ascended sorel river until they arrived at the chambly rapids having at this point sent back his boat and crew champlain proceeded in a canoe and entering a lake gave it his own name the defeat of the iroquois on lake champlain drawn by champlain champlain and his indians meeting a large force of the iroquois on the lake both parties landed and threw up barricades of trees on the following day they engaged in battle which resulted in the defeat of the hostile indians this result was largely due to champlain who killed two iroquois chiefs with his arquebus and mortally wounded another the war thus begun by the french and their allies against the iroquois continued with occasional intermissions until the french supremacy in canada was ended in september champlain returned to france and in march 1610 sailed again for america taking with him a number of mechanics soon after his arrival he and his montagnais allies made war again upon the iroquois but while attacking and demolishing their fort on the sorel he was severely wounded by an arrow leaving du pare in his place he returned to france in 1611 and while there married helen boulle a protestant who after his death became an ursuline nun de monts having lost his influence in consequence of the death of henry iv and the merchants who had previously interested themselves in the colonization scheme having concluded to spend no more money on it champlain induced the count de soissons to take an interest in the project that nobleman obtained 8 oct 1612 a commission appointing him governor and lieutenant general of new france and champlain was appointed his lieutenant which office he retained when the prince de conde succeeded shortly afterward to the rights of de soissons a short time after his appointment he sent several vessels to canada and in 1613 sailed himself principally with the intention of exploring the ottawa which a sailor named vignaud had claimed to have ascended to a lake and thence reached the north sea on 27 may 1613 he left st helen s island near montreal and upon entering the ottawa discovered that vignaud s statements were false after arranging more favorable terms for the fur trade he returned to france formed a trading company and returned to the colony in 1615 taking with him pere denis jamay and two other recollect priests together with a lay brother pere caron one of these ecclesiastics soon after his arrival proceeded to the country of the hurons on the georgian bay champlain the same year ascended the ottawa for some distance and leaving the river went partly overland and partly by canoe to the eastern shore of lake huron where embarking he sailed to its southern extremity then going overland to the western extremity of lake ontario he explored that lake and the st lawrence until he arrived at the sorel soon afterward on territory now included in the state of new york he attacked a town held by a tribe belonging to the iroquois league but through the insubordination of the hurons was repelled and received two severe wounds he was carried back to a town of the hurons and after his recovery visited several tribes of indians and returned to france in the spring notwithstanding the endeavors of champlain both in canada and in france the colony did not flourish and the indifference of the authorities at home threatened it with ultimate extinction at this critical period 1620 the duke de montmorency succeeded condo and champlain becoming more hopeful brought over his wife who remained with him until 1624 though often forced to submit to great hardships the trade had now been acquired by the merchants and quebec was fortified began to enlarge its boundaries and increased in population entering upon a career of prosperity in 1625 the duke de ventadour became viceroy and at once set to work to develop the country and sent over the first jesuit missionaries to aid in converting the natives in july 1628 a british fleet under sir david kirk and his two brothers appeared before quebec and summoned champlain to surrender his answer was defiance and the british retired after committing some depredations the canada company which had been organized by cardinal richelieu sent out provisions and settlers at this time but the fleet conveying them was captured by kirk and as champlain had depended upon the intercepted vessels for his supplies he after passing the winter
