Speaking on his latest book "Champlain's Dream", College of the Atlantic Trustee and Pulitizer Prize winning author David Hackett Fischer will reveal to us uncovered details on the remarkable life of Samuel de Champlain.
The spirit of 17th century explorer Samuel de Champlain, discoverer of Mount Desert Island, lives on at College of the Atlantic. Just as Captain Champlain ventured through uncharted waters almost 400 years ago, College of the Atlantic is today charting a new kind of education for citizens of the future.
The Champlain Society honors those individuals of vision and commitment who are major donors to the colleges annual fund. Champlain Society members are invited to participate in a variety of cultural and scientific activities meant to stimulate intellectual curiosity. Each summer, these lectures are made available to Champlain Society members and brought to you through the COA Thorndike Library Collection.
Great book by a fantastic author. Far too many Americans skip the New France era and focus exclusively on settlement studies of what becomes the US. Unfortunately they miss the rich history of how the French approached similar situations. Through the biography of Champlain one gets a wonderful introduction to this period.
Champlain named his 3 adopted (in New France) kids Faith, Hope and Charity
This is a Wonderful account of that special stamp of French Charm that Canada displays so Proudly!
Sorry but just have a look at the comments on anything that pertains to Quebec in the National Post and you will see that there is a lot of hatred that’s displayed.
