Sameuel+de+Champlain-NDR

Hi I am Samuel de Champlain, I was born in Brouage , France 1567. When I was a kid I learned how navigate, draw, and write practical reports. I surved the army for King Henry from 1594 or 1595 to 1598. I got into exploring when my uncle-in-law a navigator on the ship Saint Julien got ill and asked me to look after the business. My first voyage was when I visited the West Indies and Mexico in 1599 - 1602. I think my most interesting discovery was when I reached Lake Champlain. In spring 1608 Dugua wanted me to start a French colony on the shores of the St. Lawrence River. I died of a stroke on December 25, 1635.
