Synopsis
Excerpt from A Primer of Michigan History: With a Brief Sketch of the Material Resources of the State
As the territory which forms the present State of Michigan was first explored, settled and controlled by Frenchmen, its earliest history is inseparably connected with that of the province of New France.
During the first quarter of the century which followed the discovery of America, While Spain and England were deeply interested in projects of explo ration and excited by dreams of gold and glory, the kings of France were too deeply involved in Italian wars to give much attention to the Western World. But after the defeat of 1521, King Francis I of France found time to observe, in a spirit of envy, that his rival, Charles V of Spain and Germany, was reaping profit and renown from explorations in America. Accordingly King Francis I fitted out an expedition under John Verrazzano, a Florentine navigator whom he had enlisted in the service of France.
