Champlain participates in founding Saint Croix, located in the modern day State of Maine, visits Patuxet the Wampanoag Village and future site of Plymouth and maps the coast of Southern Acadia a decade before it became know as New England. At Port Royal the 100 year old Mi'kmaq Chief Membertou meets the French in his own sail boat and claims to have known Jacques Cartier some seven decades ago.

Wonderful podcast. I grew up near St Croix island. There is no public access to to St Croix but the US National Parks has a small visitor center. The Canadian side is no more than a few info signs and park benches. However, a few years ago I visited the Port Royal settlement in Annapolis, Nova Scotia which had an excellent reconstructed fort. The only critique is go include your references for listeners/viewers further reading. 👍👍

Thanks, the last episode of the season has all the sources, which doesn't make for the best listening.

Interesting video have you ever heard of a man named Abraham Dugas he is my 8th great grandfather , my mother was Acadian from New Brunswick . My mother was an O'Brien , but her mother was a Quintin , however this man is in my family tree . Abraham Dugras was a Lt General at Port Royal , he was born in the year 1616 and died in 1698. His wife was named Margurite Doucette .

I also have some of the people mentioned in my family tree, and I added generations on each side, so not only my family but port royal families as well. Mine is on ancestry under my name listed above opened for everybody. It is not 100%, but working hard for perfection.

Funny, you'd think that Samuel de Champagne and L'Escargot would make a better pairing

After a bad winter in St Croix, why did they go even more nirth to Port Royal?

Fort Caroline was an earlier attempt to colonize in North America but it was attacked by the Spanish and destroyed. It too had French Protestant settlers. There was also an early attempt along the St. Lawrence River that failed.

Where did you get your main sources for this video? I'm a history student, currently working on an essay explaining the history of the St Croix Colony and the Plymouth colony.

David hacket Fischer's Champlain, Champlain's account, the account left by lescarbot and Francis Parkman, the rest are mentioned in the video or in the endnotes episode of the season. What's your argument on st.croix and Plymouth?

@EdinburghFive Жыл бұрын

There are better sources than Fischer for Acadian history. Francis Parkman is an important source and interesting but he is a product of his time which made his writing a bit biased. See if you can find a copy of Algonquians, Hurons, and Iroquois: Champlain Explores America, 1603-1616 by Samuel de Champlain.

The "one African man", Mathieu da Costa in the historical records was not in De Mont's employ until 1608 so it is unlikely he was on this earlier voyage. The historical records also do not indicate he ever visited Acadia. Champlain and Lescarbot do not mention him in their writings about Acadia.

That Membertou guy had to have had Basque ancestry. Conspicuous beard and sachem of a small tribe with knowledge on how to build a sailing vessel? Were the Mikmac an Algonquin people by chance because he sounds like a son of the creole
