Excerpt from Princess Cavalier, Vol. 4: The Age of Colonization, 1570-1620
His generation in America is ushered in by the pass ing from the stage of history of Philip II, where he had played the part of villain to every nation of Europe, not excepting his own Spain. He had constituted himself the watch-dog of the New World, and no man might tread its soil without his consent. Relieved at last of the terror of Philip, France felt strong enough to begin anew her efforts at colonization in the vast unbroken territory that stretched northward from Florida over fertile fields and valleys um tenanted save by wild beasts and savage men. But, unable to forget Philip's ghost, she removed herself far to the north, where, almost simultaneously with the foundation of James town, she set her foot firmly upon the rock of Quebec.
