No one knows for sure where he was born or who he really was. Still, his career was packed with interesting details and his early life prepared him for greatness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithout Champlains own detailed records, the years 1600 to 1640 in Canada would be almost a mystery. Possibly Canadas first multicultural advocate, he dreamed of creating a new people from French and Aboriginal roots. However, his efforts to establish a colony encountered setbacks in France. Among his detractors was the powerful Cardinal Richelieu. Champlain was not of the nobility and thus was considered unfit for patronage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe explorers story is an exciting one, as he explored new territory, established alliances and understandings with Natives, waged war when necessary, and left behind a legend in the New World that lasts to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMary Beacock Fryer is a well-known expert on Upper Canadian history and has written many biographies, including a trilogy on the Simcoe family: \u003ci\u003eElizabeth Posthuma Simcoe\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOur Young Soldier\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eJohn Graves Simcoe\u003c\/i\u003e.
