| Summary | "Voyages of Samuel De Champlain — Volume 02" by Samuel de Champlain is a historical account written in the early 17th century. This volume focuses on Champlain's explorations in New France from 1604 to 1610, documenting his findings as he charted the coastlines and waterways and engaged with the indigenous populations. The text also includes details about early attempts at colonization and the motivations behind the maritime expeditions of the French. At the start of the volume, Champlain sets the stage for his narrative by detailing the historical context that led to European exploration of North America. He reflects on previous unsuccessful expeditions at finding a route to the East, highlighting the determination of the French, particularly under the command of Sieur de Monts, to establish a foothold in New France. Champlain describes their preparations, initial landfalls, and the natural resources and geography of the areas they explore, including Sable Island and the coastal features of Maine and Nova Scotia. He emphasizes the importance of trade and highlights the intricate relationships with the Native American tribes they encounter, presenting a comprehensive and vivid account of their voyages and settlements.
