Download or read book The Misunderstood Mission of Jean Nicolet written by Patrick J. Jung and published by Wisconsin Historical Society. This book was released on 2018-10-15 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years, schoolchildren heard the story of Jean Nicolet’s arrival in Wisconsin. But the popularized image of the hapless explorer landing with billowing robe and guns blazing, supposedly believing himself to have found a passage to China, is based on scant evidence—a false narrative perpetuated by fanciful artists’ renditions and repetition. In more recent decades, historians have pieced together a story that is not only more likely but more complicated and interesting. Patrick Jung synthesizes the research about Nicolet and his superior Samuel de Champlain, whose diplomatic goals in the region are crucial to understanding this much misunderstood journey across the Great Lakes. Additionally, historical details about Franco-Indian relations and the search for the Northwest Passage provide a framework for understanding Nicolet’s famed mission.

This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jean Nicolet (de Cherbourg), Interprète-Voyageur au Canada, 1618-1642 Jean icolet pouvait avoir vingt ans lorsqu il arriva au Canada en 1618. Les historiens canadiens le font naitre vers 1598 à Cherbourg. La positive de cette derniére assertion fait défaut du moins, je n' u obtenir encore du Canada aucun renseignement permettant d'étaëlir le lieu de sa naissance d'une manière irrét'utable, mais il y a de s fortes présomptions pour qu'il fut de Cherbourg ou des envi rons. D'a rès son contrat de mariage, passé à Québec en 1637 il était fils e Thomas Nicolet, messager ordinaire de Cherbourg Paris, et de Marguerite Delamer, deux noms de famille encore très communs à Cherbourg et aux environs et qu'on retrouve très fréquemment dans les plus vieux titres qu'on ait conservés. Rien d'étonnant quand un Nicolet, né dans le pays, aurait été messager entre Cherbourg et Paris, et qu'un de ses enfants, élevé dans une ville maritime, se fut ex strié pour aller chercher fortune aux pays d'outre-mer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Listen to a short interview with Karen Ordahl KuppermanHost: Chris Gondek | Producer: Heron & Crane Captain John Smith's 1607 voyage to Jamestown was not his first trip abroad. He had traveled throughout Europe, been sold as a war captive in Turkey, escaped, and returned to England in time to join the Virginia Company's colonizing project. In Jamestown migrants, merchants, and soldiers who had also sailed to the distant shores of the Ottoman Empire, Africa, and Ireland in search of new beginnings encountered Indians who already possessed broad understanding of Europeans. Experience of foreign environments and cultures had sharpened survival instincts on all sides and aroused challenging questions about human nature and its potential for transformation. It is against this enlarged temporal and geographic background that Jamestown dramatically emerges in Karen Kupperman's breathtaking study. Reconfiguring the national myth of Jamestown's failure, she shows how the settlement's distinctly messy first decade actually represents a period of ferment in which individuals were learning how to make a colony work. Despite the settlers' dependence on the Chesapeake Algonquians and strained relations with their London backers, they forged a tenacious colony that survived where others had failed. Indeed, the structures and practices that evolved through trial and error in Virginia would become the model for all successful English colonies, including Plymouth. Capturing England's intoxication with a wider world through ballads, plays, and paintings, and the stark reality of Jamestown--for Indians and Europeans alike--through the words of its inhabitants as well as archeological and environmental evidence, Kupperman re-creates these formative years with astonishing detail.
