    The Misunderstood Mission of Jean Nicolet: Uncovering the Story of the 1634 Journey

    Patrick J. Jung, "The Misunderstood Mission of Jean Nicolet: Uncovering the Story of the 1634 Journey"
    English | ISBN: 0870208799 | 2018 | 256 pages | EPUB | 5 MB

    For years, schoolchildren heard the story of Jean Nicolet’s arrival in Wisconsin. But the popularized image of the hapless explorer landing with billowing robe and guns blazing, supposedly believing himself to have found a passage to China, is based on scant evidence—a false narrative perpetuated by fanciful artists’ renditions and repetition.

Patrick Jung synthesizes the research about Nicolet and his superior Samuel de Champlain, whose diplomatic goals in the region are crucial to understanding this much misunderstood journey across the Great Lakes.
