Touched by the simplicity of the order of St. Francis, Champlain had selected its priests of the contemplative class for his comp barbarians to the civilization of Christianity. The genius of Champlain, whose comprehensive 1632 mind planned enduring establishments fation was laid, under happy auspices, in 1635, 1635. just before Champlain passed from among the living, two years before the emigration of age had erected expressly to honor the memory of the illustrious Champlain. Thus the climate made one martyr;—the companion of Raymbault <

Such scenes had no influence on the question of boundaries between Canada and New England. In the late summer of 1696, the fort of Pemaquid was taken by D'Iberville and Castin. Thus the frontier of French dominion was extended into the heart of Maine; and Acadia was yet, for a season, secured to the countrymen of De Monts and Champlain. In the west, after the hope of conquering Canada was abandoned, Frontenac had little strife but with the Five Nations, whom he alternately, by missions and treaties, endeavored to win, and, by invasions, to terrify into an alliance. In February, 1692, three hundred French, with Indian confederates, were sent over the snows against the hunting parties of the Senecas in Upper Canada, near the Niagara.

The Etchemins, or Canoemen, dwelt not only on the St. John's River, the Ouygondy of the natives, Champlain i. 74. but on the St. Croix, which Champlain always called from their name, and extended as far west, at least, as Mount Desert. Next to these came the Abenakis, of whom one Chap XXII.} tribe has left its name to the Penobscot, and another to the Androscoggin; while a third, under the auspices Champlain. Relation, &c. of Jesuits, had its chapel and its fixed abode in the fertile fields of Norridgewock. The clans that disappeared from their ancient hunting-grounds did not always become extinct; they often migrated to the north and west. Of the Sokokis, who Relation 1646 appear to have dwelt near Saco, and to have had an alliance with the Mohawks, many, at an early day, abandoned the region where they first became known 1646. to European voyagers, and placed themselve

The boat of Champlain had entered the lake that makes his name a familiar word, in the same summer in which Hudson ascended the North River. Holland had never dispossessed the Frenchty were far from being explicit. But France did not merely remonstrate against the attempt to curtail its limits and appropriate its provinces. Entering Lake Champlain, it established, in 1731, the fortress of the Crown. The garrison of the French was at first stationed on the eastern shore of the lake, but soon removed to the in 1724, the government of Massachusetts had established Fort Dummer, on the site of Brattleborough; and thus, one hundred and fifteen years after the inroad of Champlain, a settlement of civilized man was made in Vermont. That Fort Dummer was within the limits of Massachusetts, was not questioned by the French; for the fort at S
