THIS is the order in which the Great Lakes were discovered by the French explorers: Huron in 1615, by Le Caron, the Recollect friar, and by Champlain, one of the greatest navigators in New France; Ontario, during the same year, by Champlain; Superior, about 1629, by Etienne Brule; Michigan, in 1634, by Jean Nicolet; Erie, probably by Joliet, in 1669. It seems somewhat remarkable, from the positions of the lakes, that Erie should have been the last of the five to come under the dominion of the white men. The reason is this. It lay deep in the recesses of a hostile country, guarded by the "Romans of the West," the Iroquois or Five Nations. From Montreal the course of the French missionaries and traders westward was up the Ottawa river, the route to the upper lakes which was followed by the Hurons.

Joseph Le Caron, the Franciscan friar, who first discovered Lake Huron, reached Quebec in May, 1615, with three other Franciscans. To Le Caron was assigned the district of the Hurons as his mission field. His garb was the customary rude garment of coarse, gray cloth, girt at the waist with a knotted cord, and surmounted by a peaked hood. He was shod with wooden sandals an inch or more in thick-He hastened at once to the site of language and resolved to winter in their villages. Accompanied by twelve Frenchmen he set out about July 1, 1615, with the concourse of Hurons up the Ottawa river, and after many hardships reached the seat of the Huron nation, near the entrance of the bay of Matchedash. Here within an area of thirty or forty miles were many Huron villages, containing a population variously estimated at from 10,000 to 30,000 inhabitants.

Champlain's Voyage. -- Champlain, with two canoes, two Frenchmen and ten Indians followed Le Caron a few days later, and in his narrative describes the journey by way of Lake Nipissing, and thence down its outlet until along the western sky was traced the watery line of the "Fresh-Water Sea" of the Hurons, the Mer Douce or Lake Huron, and southward spread the shores of the Georgian Bay. For more than a hundred miles Champlain followed its dented outlines; thence following an Indian trail inland his eyes soon beheld a scene of cultivated fields, and palisaded villages, the ancient home of the Hurons. Here he met Le Caron, and from this center Champlain led the Huron braves the same year in an unsuccessful campaign against their enemies, the Iroquois, below Lake Oneida, probably crossing Lake Ontario en route from the mouth of the river Trent to a point of land west of Hungry bay.

A controversy has arisen among historians as to the route which Champlain took in 1615 across Lake Ontario. Dr. John Gilmary Shea, of New York, and Gen. James S. Clark, of Auburn, N. Y., basing their opinions partially upon a map printed to the 1632 edition of Champlain's account of the expedition, say the starting point was from what is now Kingston. O. H. Marshall and others have contended that it started from the mouth of river Trent, opposite Point Pleasant. Champlain gives the distance across as fourteen leagues or thirty-five miles. He says they crossed the lake, and from this statement it is argued that they did not merely skirt its edges. This is the first recorded visitation of Lake Ontario by a white man. The Hurons had expected with the aid of Champlain and the few Frenchmen accompanying him, armed with terror-inspiring and death-dealing muskets, to utterly put to rout their ancient enemies, the Iroquois. They concealed their canoes in the forest on the shores of Lake Ontario, and proceeded cautiously inland. The village of Onondaga, near Lake Oneida, was attacked October 10, 1615. It was protected by palisades, and although the Frenchmen did execution with their firearms, the Hurons were undisciplined and fought in their own disordered and disconnected manner, disregarding the instructions of their French leader. Champlain was wounded, and the party finally retired. Finding their canoes unharmed, they re-crossed Lake Ontario, and Champlain passed the winter with the Hurons in the vicinity of Lake Simcoe. This attack upon the Iroquois fanned their hatred against the French. It smoldered for a generation, and then burst out in a fierce flame of destruction.

What was the final outcome of the Crusades for the Holy Land?
Gwar [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The entire structure of European society changed during the 12th and 13th centuries, and there was a time when this change was attributed largely to the Crusades. Historians now, however, tend to view the Crusades as only one, albeit significant, factor in Europe’s development. It is likely that the disappearance of old families and the appearance of new ones can be traced in part to the Crusades, but generalizations must be made with caution. It should, moreover, be remembered that, while some Crusaders sold or mortgaged their property, usually to ecclesiastical foundations, others bequeathed it to relatives. The loss of life was without doubt considerable; many Crusaders, however, did return to their homes.

The sectors acquired by burgeoning Italian cities in the Crusader states enabled them to extend their trade with the Muslim world and led to the establishment of trade depots beyond the Crusade frontiers, some of which lasted long after 1291. The transportation they provided was significant in the development of shipbuilding techniques. Italian banking facilities became indispensable to popes and kings. Catalans and Provençal's also profited, and, indirectly, so did all of Europe. Moreover, returning Crusaders brought new tastes and increased the demand for spices, Oriental textiles, and other exotic fare. But such demands can also be attributed to changing lifestyles and commercial growth in Europe itself.

The establishment of the Franciscan and Dominican friars in the East during the 13th century made possible the promotion of missions within the Crusade area and beyond. Papal bulls granted special facilities to missionary friars, and popes sent letters to Asian rulers soliciting permission for the friars to carry on their work. Often the friars accompanied or followed Italian merchants, and, since the Mongols were generally tolerant of religious propaganda, missions were established in Iran, the Asian interior, and even China. But, since Islamic law rigidly prohibited propaganda and punished apostasy with death, conversions from Islam were few. The Dominican William of Tripoli had some success, presumably within the Crusaders’ area; he and his colleague Riccardo di Monte Croce both wrote perceptive treatises on Islamic faith and law. Other missionaries usually failed, and many suffered martyrdom. In the 14th century the Franciscans were finally permitted to reside in Palestine as caretakers for the holy places but not as missionaries.
