DATE OF DISCOVERY
OF LAKE CHAMPLATN
A Correction Made Regarding Error Of
Some Writers in Making the Date
Coincide With the Fourth
of July.

Two years ago our legislature passed
joint resolution for the appointment of
commission for the celebration of the
30Oth anniversary OF the discovery of
Lake Champlain. One of the reasons
given for the appropriateness of the cell
ebration was that the discovery was on
July 4th, our national holiday. If the
day of discovery and the day of the
Declaration of Independence were thus
coincident, ii would certainly be an in
teresting historical fact But it is not
true. Champlain did not discover the
lake on the 4th Of July, but on the Sd.
1t is true that some local historians
have stated the date to be July 4th. On
what authority they make this state
ment, we do not know There is no
more authority, so far as we can ascer-
tain, for their statement than there is
for that of Gardner & Lodge in their
recent history of the United States,
when they say that Champlain diseoy-
cred the lake on an expedition in the
winter OF l60S-9 The closest we can
get to Champlain's own account is the
translation of the Prince Society of Bos-
ton, and the reproduction in French by
the Lavel University of Canada, of the
Voyages of Ghamplain Both of these
works are in our state library.
BY referring TO page 2l0 of the Prince
Society's translation volume 9, we find
the opening sentence states that Cham
plain left the falls OF the river of the
lroquois (later known as the Sorrel or
Richelieu river), on July I'd. The same
statement may be found in the Lavel
University's publication, volume 2, page
los. After a description Of an island
the Indian soothsayer, and the forests,
ETC., Champlain states on page 2l5 of
the Prince Society's translation and page
100 of the Laval University's publica.
tion, that he continued his Journey the
next day to the entrance of the lake, and
in the next paragraph states, that "the
next day we embarked upon the lake."
and then proceeds with HIS narrative of
the expedition. It is, therefore, appar-
ent that if he left the falls of the river
on the ID of July and reached the en-
trance of the lake on the next day. he
must have discovered the lake on the 81
day OF July 1909, for the discovery would
be at the time when he first reached
the lake, not the time when he began
his exploration. No other date can be
assigned for the discovery unless we
adopt the suggestion OF Prof. Laverdiere
that Champlsin may have made 4 mis-
take when he wrote July 2d for July !
18th. II this were so, the discovery was 1
made July 18th.
As ono of the commissioners for the /
celebration has recently published an ar 1
tiele in which be repeats the error that +
the lake was as'discovered on the 4th day /
Of July, / think that the matter ought I
to be cleared up We are inviting New /
York and Canada to participate in the
Others may look this
matter up and point out our error. We
should not attempt 10 change the facts
of history for the sake of coincidence Of
dates or through an excess Of patriotism
