Dr. Joseph-Andre Senecal | Extended Interview

Watch more of our interview with UVM Professor Emeritus Dr. Joseph-Andre Senecal on the Champlain statues from the early 1900s in Plattsburgh and Crown Point, New York. Senecal describes how the designer and sculptor of the statue at the time had no idea what Champlain really looked like, and his outfit seemed to be that of one worn by “a Three Musketeers or a Spanish conquistador” rather than a French explorer like Champlain.
