One of the best-known French explorers was Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle.

Born in France in 1643, La Salle traveled to New France in 1666, following his older brother who had moved there. La Salle became a farmer. Having "a desire for exploration," he got permission from the governor of New France to explore the Ohio River Valley.

A few years later, La Salle wanted to expand the French fur trade by building forts at important places between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River. One of these forts was founded at the mouth of the St. Joseph River. ...
