Lasalle, the Mississippi, and the Gulf Three Primary Documents

Three centuries after the French explorer La Salle was murdered in the Texas wilds, this volume presents translations of three obscure documents that broaden the view of the man and his exploits. The first non-Spanish effort to settle areas along the Gulf of Mexico is seen from the perspectives of La Salle's engineer; a Spanish pilot who searched for the French colony; and two French lads who, orphaned as a result of the Fort Saint-Louis massacre, lived first among the Texas Indians, then the Spaniards.Weddle, Robert S. is the author of 'Lasalle, the Mississippi, and the Gulf Three Primary Documents' with ISBN 9781585440191 and ISBN 1585440191.
