Crusaders of New France A Chronicle of the Fleur-de-Lis in the Wilderness Chronicles of America, Volume 4

"Crusaders of New France" by William Bennett Munro, is a story that tells of France's attempts to create a colony in North America in the 1600s. The account examines France's power under its kings and focuses on important people who explored and tried to settle the land, showing where they did well and where they struggled. The book starts by explaining how France was ready to explore new lands because of its strong army, organized government, and the power of the Church. It presents leaders like Louis XIV and talks about Jacques Cartier's early trips, revealing the mix of dreams and hard work that defined France's colonial goals, and the book suggests the French desire for land and riches clashed with the difficulties of the new land.
