| Summary | "Oeuvres de Champlain" by Samuel de Champlain is a historical account published in the late 19th century. This work provides a comprehensive compilation of Champlain’s writings, focusing on his significant contributions to the early history and establishment of French Canada. The text serves as a primary historical source, offering insights into the discoveries, founding events, and interactions between European settlers and Indigenous peoples. At the start of the work, the preface emphasizes the importance of Champlain as a crucial eyewitness to the origins of Canada, documenting the significance of his observations and actions during the early days of colonization. It outlines the intention behind this publication: to make Champlain's rare and previously inaccessible writings available to a wider audience. Furthermore, the opening section introduces details about Champlain's early life and experiences, including his ambitions in navigation and exploration, ultimately leading to his pivotal role in founding Quebec and forging alliances with Indigenous tribes.
