Moore examines Champlain, his life, his achievements and his drawbacks. Champlain founded Acadia, the first French settlement in North America, and the village that would become Quebec City. Champlain, however, also suffered defeats. His marriage was unhappy, his alliances with First Nations peoples helped inflict war and he temporarily surrendered Quebec to the English.--Ministry of Education website.
