Early life
Samuel De Champlain was born on August 13, 1567 in Hiers-Brouage, France. Not much is known of his early childhood, except for going along with his uncle to the West Indies and to Spain. He was the geographer for king Henry IV, and later in 1603 he joined François Gravé Du Pont's on an early expedition in Canada.
