Excerpt from Story of Illinois French fishermen frequented the shores of the Gulf of St. Lawrence as early as 1504. They had no thought of making explorations or settlements. They knew little about the land features of the New World, and the little knowledge they had created scarcely a ripple of interest in France. The Coming to the St. Lawrence of James Cartier in 1534 was the first real sign of French interest in America. He was an explorer rather than a founder of empire. His experiment in attempting to plant a colony at Mon treal in the winter of 1540-41 proved a failure, and little more is heard of the French in Canada till the coming, in 1608, of Samuel Champlain, a man of great vigor of mind and body, deep insight into human nature and of pure and lofty purposes.
