"The Makers of Canada: Champlain" by N.-E. Dionne is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work centers on the life and contributions of Samuel Champlain, the founder of Quebec and a key figure in the establishment of New France. It serves as both a biography and a historical narrative that chronicles Champlain's voyages and the challenges faced during the early days of French colonization in North America. The opening of the book introduces Champlain as a dedicated explorer and leader whose efforts in establishing Quebec laid the foundation for French interests in Canada. It details his early life and military background, setting the stage for his later achievements in exploration and settlement. From his initial voyages to America, where he documented his findings and fostered relationships with Indigenous tribes, to his determination to create a thriving colony despite numerous obstacles, the narrative highlights Champlain's resilience and foresight. This introductory section emphasizes Champlain's moral character and his commitment to his mission, showcasing both the dramatic landscape of the time and the complex interactions between European settlers and Native peoples.
