Additional Reading
The journals of Cartier’s voyages, in original and translation, were edited by H.P. Biggar, The Voyages of Jacques Cartier (1924), as was A Collection of Documents Relating to Jacques Cartier and the Sieur de Roberval (1930). Bernard G. Hoffman, Cabot to Cartier (1961), critically examines the source material. The best account of Cartier’s voyages is in Marcel Trudel, Histoire de la Nouvelle-France: Les vaines tentatives 1524–1603 (1963). Briefer accounts, in English, are contained in J.B. Brebner, The Explorers of North America (1933); and W.J. Eccles, The Canadian Frontier, 1534–1760 (1969).
