I have been here in the New World for a while now. We have made alliances with the Indians and made many discoveries. Jaques Marquette has died though. I have had a wonderful time in the New World but now it is time to go home. Goodbye New World.
Today we discovered a great river running through the New World. It has very murky and dark water in it. We are hoping that it will lead us across this continent. We will ride on it and see what happens.
Today I met a tribe of Indians who gave me a pipe. They called it a Peace Pipe. You could go into other tribes territory and not be harmed. We kept the pipe because we knew it would help us on our journey. This is a great discovery for France.
I met Jaques one fine day in France. He worked as a monk inĀ France. He agreed to go on an exploration to the new world. He wanted to spread Cristianity to the different tribes of Indians.
Getting kidnapped by the Iroquois was very scary for me. I was just wandering out in the woods. All of a sudden they popped out of the bushes. They took me to their village. I got out eventually though.
