At Lake Between examines the July 1609 expedition of explorer Samuel de Champlain to the lake that now bears his name, focusing on Indigenous spiritual, cultural, and military customs. Professor Wiseman gives us an alternative view of the first European entrance into what is now Vermont. Through primary sources, interpretive text and color illustrations, At Lake Between looks at this historic encounter from a native perspective, focused not on Champlain, or even the battle with the Iroquois, but on the complex cultural, political, and diplomatic back-story that led to the European discovery of the lake.
