Champlain's Dream

Good story. Kindle version has terrible typography and poor image reproduction. From the writing, the pagination is wrong - the appendices should be after the end notes.

BUT ... the story is great and filled huge gulfs in my English-language, Quebec education. If you're looking for Champlain-bashing, which it appears that the late René Lévesque may well have been -- see quote from his memoir in the book -- this is not the correct book for you.

I got a good start, but bogged down because of lack of time (mainly). I also found the book to be a little too pro-Champlain, although I gather that's a reaction to a lot of uninformed critics from earlier.
