La Salle is one of the best-known but least-understood explorers
of human history. Celebrated for following the Mississippi to its
mouth in present-day Louisiana, he was also berated for failing to
relocate that same area when he came by sea. Justly known as the
greatest of the canoe-carrying and paddle-wielding Frenchmen of his
time, he was a failure when it came to colonization and conquest.
There was greatness within him, including a powerful will to
succeed, but there was also sheer stubbornness, which cost him when
he attempted to create a French colony in what is now Texas. In
Robert de La Salle, read about a man whose journeys encouraged
explorers from other European nations to survey the southeastern
United States.
