He still dreamed of reaching India, with its spices and its many riches, by continuing further to the West. But the land called New France – a harsh land from India – was his greatest love. He defended it fiercely to those in power in France and was responsible for its development. Champlain thus ensured the birth of the country that today is Canada. He is undisputedly the Father of New France.Of Related InterestQuest Biographies Bundle — Books 11–20lian goodallContributorsFrancine LegaréA researcher and freelance writer, Francine Legaré lives in Quebec.View Author Page Jonathan KaplanskyView Author Page Book DetailsePubJanuary 2004-180 pp9781770706767ePubJanuary 2004-180 pp9781770707467PaperbackJanuary 20045.5x8.5 in180 pp9781894852104
