"Voyages of Samuel De Champlain — Volume 02" by Samuel de Champlain is a historical chronicle that recounts the early 17th-century French explorations of North America, specifically from 1604 to 1610. Champlain's writings record his coastal charting, his interactions with various Native American tribes, and the initial, often challenging, efforts to establish French colonies in what was then known as New France. Beginning with the historical reasons behind France's desire to explore, the text follows Samuel as he inventories natural resources, maps the coastlines of Maine and Nova Scotia, and studies the geography of Sable Island. Sieur de Monts' determination to create trade partnerships and build relationships with Native American tribes is essential to this vivid and informational account of early French settlement.
