November
17th 1613 – I found Champlain in conference with men of means
and dreams. Champlain had their ears and I was to paint the picture for their
eyes. He introduced me as his Aid and gave me a seat at the table. I was nervous
but honoured to be there in support of Champlain’s grand plans. His
enthusiasm was infectious and resistance was overcome by his charm and sound
business sense.
By the end of the day these men were won over and
agreed to his proposal. Some of these families I know from before as du Mont's
and Champlain's silent supporters. They were the investors from Rouen
