A not-So-New World: Empire and Environment in French Colonial North America - Early American Studies
Christopher M. Parsons
Parsons reveals that French colonial ambitions were fueled by a vision of an ecologically sustainable empire. When Samuel de Champlain founded the colony of Quebec in 1608, he established elaborate gardens where he experimented with indigenous plants. Following Champlain's example, fellow colonists nurtured similar gardens through the Saint Lawrence Valley and Great Lakes region.
