Description:Excerpt from Chapters From Illinois History Upon the curious map of New France published by Samuel de Champlain in 1632 is shown, beyond Lac Mer Douce, which we call Lake Huron, the home of a people whom he describes as "a nation where there is a quantity of buffalo." Champlain, the "Father of Canada," and the first to carry the flag of France into the heart of North America, reached Lake Huron in 1615. This was the western limit of his explorations, but he gathered from the natives in that region information concerning what lay beyond, which he included in this map, the earliest known delineation of the country of the Great Lakes. It takes strange liberties with their topography, even to ignoring Lake Erie, confining Lake Michigan to Green Bay, and transferring it and the Fox and Wisconsin waterway to the north of Lake Superior. But there appear upon it indications which justify the belief that the far away people of whom Champlain heard as he coasted the shore of the Georgian Bay, were the tribe later known as the Illinois, and that the country in which they dwelt where the buffalo abounded was the prairie land upon which their name is fixed forevermore.
