Description
This is Abbott’s detailed biography on the life and adventures of the great French explorer Robert De La Salle who is credited with exploring the Mississippi River, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Great Lakes region.
Excerpt from The Adventures of the Chevalier De La Salle and His Companions:
"There is no one of the Pioneers of this continent whose achievements equal those of the Chevalier Robert de la Salle He passed over thousands of miles of lakes and rivers in the birch canoe. He traversed countless leagues of prairie and forest, on foot, guided by the moccasined Indian, threading trails which the white man's foot had never trod, and penetrating the villages and the wigwams of savages, where the white mans face had never been seen.
Fear was an emotion La Salle never experienced. His adventures were more wild and wondrous than almost any recorded in the tales of chivalry, As time is rapidly obliterating from our land the footprints of the savage, it is important that these records of his strange existence should be perpetuated."
