    Search for Samuel de Champlain

    Samuel de Champlain is considered the "Father of Quebec" but nobody knows where he was buried, or what he looked like. There apparently is no authentic pucture or painting of the man. I just read an novel by Louise Penny, "Bury Your Dead" in which a good part of the plot was to do with where...
