Samuel de Champlain, 1620

CHAMPLAIN, Samuel de (1567-1635). Voyages et descouuertures faites en la nouvelle faites en la Nouvelle France, depuis l'année 1615. iusques à la fin de l'année 1618. Paris: Claude Collet, 1620.



Champlain’s narrative of his final expedition of discovery, including his “incomparable essay on the Hurons” (Winsor). This is the reissue of the 1619 edition, differing only in the date on the letterpress title-page and some minor details (the engraved title still bears the date 1619). It is Champlain's third work, describing his voyages from 1615 to 1618. "It describes his introduction of the Recollect Fathers as missionaries to the Indians, his exploration of the river of the Ottawas, Lake Nipissing, Lake Huron, and Ontario; the attack on the Iroquois fort in the State of New York; his winter among the Hurons; and it contains his incomparable essay on the Hurons and other neighboring tribes. It has Brûlé's narrative of his experiences among the savages on the southern borders of the State of New York, near the Pennsylvania line, and that of the events which occurred in the settlement at Quebec” (Winsor, quoted in Church). Champlain was aware of Louis XIII's personal interest in Native customs, and, in part to encourage continued patronage of New France, he gives great detail. The large folding illustration depicts a Huron deer hunt using a V-trap picket fence. Alden & Landis 620⁄45; Church 378; Harrisse, Nouvelle France 33; Sabin 11837.
