Backed by merchants, de Monts sailed to Acadia with 79 men in 1604. They explored the Baie Francoise (Bay of Fundy). One of their stops was Cape D&#8217;Or (Golden Cape), where they found copper mines &#8230; hence the name Les Mines. They sailed into the Basin and found a large amethyst on Partridge Island. It was broken in two and De Monts brought one piece back and had it made into jewelry for the King and Queen. [Herbin]<br \/>\nDe Monts didn&#8217;t like the rocky cliffs at Blomidon. He didn&#8217;t go far enough to see the rich lands of Grand Pre a few miles to the south, and left the head north. He and his men stayed on an island on the St. Croix River.<br \/>\nIt was thought that the area offered protection from raiders. Francois Grave Du Pont and Jean de Biencourt de Poutrincourt sailed back to France before winter. French noblemen, Catholic &amp; Protestant clergy, laborers, and artisans were in the first group of men. Over the winter, 35 men died. Besides the weather, scurvy was a problem. In The Jesuit Relations and Allied Documents &#8230; 1610-1791, ed. R.G. Thwaites, Father Pierre Briard wrote that of the 79, only 11 remained well.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pierre de Guast, Sieur de Monts, from Saintonge, was given a fur trade monopoly for Acadia.
