Evidence of Exploration
There is evidence of his voyages because there are maps of his three voyages to Canada. He had a journal where he wrote about his three voyages, his experience with the natives and about other things like his other voyages where he went with other explorers. Like with Giovanni da Verrazzano.
Here are some entries of Jacques Cartier's journal:
These entries are from his voyage in 1535-1536
11 October 1535
We reached Stadacona today. The men are tired and the weather is getting very cold now so we decided to spend the winter here. Starting from next week we will start gathering everything necessary for our survival.
15 July 1536
We reached the shores of Saint Malo this afternoon. I am glad to be home among people like me. Today I have completed my second voyage which I can say had thought me a lot about how different things are in this world and how people start building up communities according to their common believes. The world is big and still hiding a lot that is why I am sure that if God keeps my health I will travel again soon.
