The Quest for the Great West

La Salle's ambition was boundless. In the late 1660s, he envisioned a grand venture to establish French settlements and trade routes that would span from present-day Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. With the support of French officials and Louis XIV, La Salle set out to claim these vast territories for France and secure his place in history.

A Treacherous Path

The journey, however, was treacherous and filled with peril. Facing harsh weather, hostile Indigenous tribes, and uncharted waters, La Salle led several expeditions, notably the two major voyages of 1679 and 1682. His relentless spirit and determination drove him forward, despite numerous setbacks and hardships. Along the way, he encountered the mighty Mississippi River, which he named after France's greatest monarch, Louis XIV, and claimed the entire area for France.
