notes:
|
Champlain established the settlement at Quebec and allied with the Montagnais and Algonquins against the Iroquois. Champlain and his allies were victorious when Champlain succeeded in killing two chiefs and wounding another with his arquebus or musket. Champlain drew the original from which the engraving was made.
