René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle was a renowned 17th-century French explorer and fur trader who extensively explored the Great Lakes region, the Mississippi River, and the Gulf of Mexico. He claimed the Mississippi River basin for France, significantly contributing to the expansion of French territorial claims in North America. Despite encountering challenges, such as an unsuccessful expedition to the Gulf coast of Mexico, La Salle’s explorations and discoveries had a profound impact on the history of North America.
