Life

  • In 1666 sailed to New France where he was given
    land.
  • Wanted to find a way to get to China so he set
    out on several expeditions.

No route
  • As La Salle realized there wasnt a route to
    China, he changed his reason for exploring.
  • In 1685, during his 2nd exploration into Texas,
    he explored to help France gain more land. When
    he reached Texas, he set up French forts in Texas

  • Most of what we know about La Salle we learned
    from a man named Pierre Margry, who published a
    work called, Découvertes et établissements des
    Français dans l'ouest et dans le sud de
    l'Amérique septentrionale. Margry was a French
    historian who documented the history of France in
    North America.

Margry took letters, journal entries, and reports
that were written about the French exploration of
North America and created the French document.

Effects of French and Spanish Exploration
  • Spain worried French would claim more land in
    Texas.
  • Spain decided to build Missions to protect Texas
    land from other countries
