- Samuel de Champlain "STUCK IN A FRAME".
- "Samuel Champlain was born at Brouage, a small seaport town in the old province of Saintonge, southeast of Rochefort and opposite the island of Oléron, about the year 1567. "1 Little is known of Champlain's family background; indeed, though he wrote much, little personal information of Champlain's life is known. It is known, however, that Champlain learned the ways of the sea from his uncle.
- Champlain's first substantial voyage, one to Spain, was with his uncle. ... " On his return to France two years later, the 32 year old Champlain was to link up with Francis Gravé, Sieur du Pont (Pontgravé), a merchant, fur trader, and a citizen of St. ... The two of them, Pontgravé and Champlain, in 1603, voyaged together up the "rivière de Canada. " Champlain, it would appear had no official position in this trading voyage. ... Leaving Pontgravé to his business, Champlain explored. ... Before the summer was out, Champlain returned to Tadoussac and embarked with Pontgravé for the return trip to France.
- It was during this trip to Tadoussac and beyond that Champlain was to consider the advantages of Acadia. ... It was known to slope westward and I imagine that explorers like Champlain thought that following the American coast, southwest, might lead to the great western sea and the oriental riches beyond; at least it might lead to a shorter route to the lands and seas (Great Lakes) of which the Indians spoke and which they said was to the west of Hochelaga. ... ) What Champlain likely concluded was that explorations in the southern parts of Acadia may lead to the discovery of a route to Asia, if not directly, then overland. ... Lawrence seem to lead to the thicker part of the continental barrier; and to Champlain's geographical eyes the continent seem to thin out as one went south. ...
- Champlain came over with the de Monts expedition in 1605. A narrative of Champlain's adventures in Acadia is contained in my history of Acadia, in one of its very first chapters, "The Founding of Port Royal. " Sufficient at this place to say that Champlain spent his first three winters in New France in Acadia. By September of 1607, Champlain and his fellow colonists in Acadia, due to lack of support from their French backers, returned to France. 2 In July, 1608, however, Champlain was to be back up the St. ... Thus, Champlain, in 1608, founds Quebec, a French colony which, while slow to develop, was to become the French capital in North America. ...

Champlain kept a journal of his explorations in the Gulf of Mexico, and after his return to France, in 1601 or 1602, he received a pension and the appointment of geographer to the king. It was in the year 1603 that Champlain first visited the shores of Canada, as the lieutenant of Aymar de Chastes, viceroy under Henry 1V. Pierre de Chauvin had proposed to make a permanent settlement at Tadoussac, but Champlain was not in favour of this place, and, having cast anchor at the foot of Cape Diamond, he considered that the point of Quebec would be the most advantageous site for the future colony. ... The party wintered on the island of Sainte-Croix, and in the spring Champlain explored the country between the island and Port Royal, continuing this work until the fall of 1607. As the lieutenant of de Monts Champlain laid the foundation of the Abitation de Québec on the 3d of July, 1608, and around this modest dwelling arose the little village of Quebec. ... Criticism has been directed against Champlain for having become involved in Indian warfare; but with a knowledge of the conditions of trade, and the situation of the few Frenchmen at this time, his action seems to have been in the best interests of the settlement.

- The vision for the Lake Champlain Paddlers' Trail began to take shape in the early 1990's. Kevin Rose, expert paddler and founder of the Champlain Kayak Club, formally conceived the idea of a Water Trail on Lake Champlain. The Lake Champlain Committee embraced the idea as a way to provide a permanent corridor on the Lake for low-impact recreational uses. ...
- The National Park Service (NPS), the New York State Natural Heritage Trust, and especially the Lake Champlain Basin Program (LCBP) provided critical early funding support that enabled the seed of an idea to flourish and grow. LCBP's Maja Smith dedicated many hours to site investigations, landowner protection issues, and establishing communication with both public and private landowners in the South Lake, enabling the Lake Champlain Committee to extend the Trail network. ...
- The Champlain Kayak Club was enthusiastically involved in Trail development, signage and stewardship from the get-go. Canoe Imports and The Ski Rack/Downhill Edge, suppliers of kayaks and paddling equipment in the Champlain Basin, provided key financial support and positive input that continues today. The Maine Island Trail Association and its co-founder Dave Getchell, along with the Green Mountain Club and Catamount Trail Association, gave invaluable advice and guidance as the Lake Champlain Paddlers' Trail grew from idea to reality. ...
