Synopsis

Explore the lake’s dawn of history and the people who shaped it. This immersive narrative follows the first century of Lake Champlain, tracing how French and Dutch settlers, Native nations, and bold explorers stitched together a frontier world.

From Champlain’s discovery to the trials of Van Curler and Schuyler, this edition brings history to life with accessible language and a clear sense of time, place, and consequence. You’ll see how the lake became a crossroads of cultures, and how early leaders navigated war, alliance, and settlement to leave a mark on New York and beyond.
