Description

Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac had a plan to expand the lands of New France by founding a colony where trade could easily flourish. In 1701, his hunger for power and adventure led him to the New World where he founded Detroit, now one of the oldest cities in North America. Young readers will travel with Cadillac as he earns and eventually loses command at three different French settlements.
