Art Thou Facts About Sam
In 1603, he lead a first expedition to America,
and a second one, established Acadia. A couple
years later, he made a trading post that later
became Quebec. In 1612, he actually became the
viceroy of New France! A couple years after he
was the leader of the Company with One hounded
associates, Quebec was attacked by English
privateers , and Samuel surrendered, so he was
put in jail for four years. A cool thing is that
he actually wrote a book about the Indians he met
along his way.
