This book was released on 1699 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photostatic copy, probably from around 1924, of an account by Jean Cavelier, brother of Robert Cavelier de La Salle, of the disastrous expedition to establish a French colony in Louisiana at the mouth of the Mississippi River between 1684 and 1688, and two related letters, dated Sept. 1 and Sept. 7, 1699, to the duque de Jovenazo from the baron de Lahontan in Lisbon. The account, written long after the fact, but given a day-by-day journal character by the use of marginal dates, was originally intended for the marquis de Seignelay, French minister of state. The expedition left La Rochelle, in July 1684, and from the beginning, was plagued with disasters--bad weather, illness, and insubordination by the naval commander Beaujeu. The loss of the main supply ship, and La Salle's illness in the West Indies threw the expedition into disarray. Continuing on with 180 men, La Salle missed the mouth of the Mississippi and ended up in what is now Matagorda Bay, Texas. The ill-fated expedition tried twice to reach Canada, and during the second attempt, in Jan. 1687, La Salle was assassinated by one of his own men. Cavelier did reach Montreal in June 1688, and sailed home to France in Aug. 1688. Along with his copy of Cavelier's journal, Lahontan sends two letters which he wrote to the duke of Jovenazo, dated Sept. 1 and Sept. 9, 1699, in Lisbon, discussing Spanish concerns about French claims to territory in the Gulf of Mexico. A cover letter, dated Jan. 31, 1700, informs the marqués del Carpio that copies are being sent to the Consejo de Indias.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To most people it probably seems that La Salle and his men, permanently fixed in the pantheon of explorers of the North American continent, need little further introduction. The fact is that this whole early period of exploration and colonization by the French in the southeastern United States has received far less scholarly attention than the corresponding English and Spanish activities in the same area, and even the existing scholarship has failed to focus clearly upon the Indian tribes whose attitudes toward the European new comers were crucial to their very survival. In this collection of essays marking the tricentennial of René-Robert Cavelier de La Salle's 1682 expedition into the Lower Mississippi Valley, thirteen scholars from a variety of disciplines assess his legacy and the significance of French colonialism in the Southeast. These scholars in the fields of French colonial history and the ethnohistory of the Indians of the Louisiana Colony deal with a diversity of topics ranging from La Salle's expedition itself and its place in the context of New World colonialism in general to the interaction of French settlers with native Indian tribes.

Book excerpt: This biography introduces young readers to the life of Frenchman René-Robert Cavalier de La Salle. Readers learn about La Salle's childhood, education, and family life in France as well as his time in New France as a farmer and a fur trader. La Salle's exploration of the Ohio River for New France's governor Daniel de Rémy, Sieur de Courcelles is discussed. Also introduced is Jacques Marquette and Louis Jolliet's exploration of the Mississippi River during La Salle's time. Readers discover that King Louis XIV of France granted La Salle permission to explore western New France. And using a detailed map, readers follow La Salle's path through Lakes Ontario, Erie, Huron, and Michigan; his stops in present-day Green Bay, Wisconsin, and St. Joseph, Michigan; and his trips down the Kankakee, Illinois, and Arkansas rivers to the Gulf of Mexico. The book explains that La Salle was the first European to explore the length of the Mississippi River, he claimed the entire Mississippi River basin for France, and that the United States bought this territory from France in an agreement called the Louisiana Purchase. Full-color photos, an index, a timeline, discussion questions, bold glossary terms, and phonetics accompany easy-to-read text.
