Samuel Champlain’s
Diary

Ill Feeling Dec 25, 1635
I woke up this morning with an ill feeling inside. My head is fuzzy and my right arm is feeling num. Don`t believe I will be doing much exploring today.
Niagara Falls July 6, 1610
I witnessed today what I would think should be one of the wonders of the world. It is a huge water fall in the shape of a horse shoe. I found it on the border of New York State and Canada. It was a marvellous sight to look at for hours and hours.
Huron Indians October 1, 1609
I had befriended the Huron Indians last year and today I helped them fight the Iroquois in a battle. There were a number of issues from fur trading to stealing land. I had been a long hard fight and I am glad to see the day done and hoping to get a good night’s rest.
Lake Champlain April 25, 1609
Today I set out to explore the St. Lawrence River for the King of France. It was a dark and gloomy day out today and the wind was cool. As we charted unknown waters we came upon a lake that I named after myself (Lake Champlain). It is on the border of Northern New York state and Vermont. It was quite an adventurist and successful day.
Quebec January 15, 1608
I t was a cold bitter day today in Quebec. I believe this could be an excellent fur trading center. I have lead 32 colonists to this area to settle. If they can survive the harsh frosty winter in Quebec I am sure more settlers will come. I believe that I might have founded Canada’s first City (Quebec)
The Bay of Fundy May 31, 1604
Today it was a bright and sunny day and we returned to Canada. We sailed around and charted most of the coast of Nova Scotia to the Bay of Fundy. Then we sailed down the coast to Cape Code and Martha’s Vineyard (Massachusetts) and later to Rhode Island. We ended our night with a feast and the crew sat around and played numerous games.
