NewYork Copyright, 1905, by Williams-Barker Co. Printed in the United States ofAmerica INTRODUCTION The career Rene Robertof Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, in a measure links the exploits of his compatriot Champlain, in the North, with those of Cabeza de Vaca, De Soto and Coronado, in the South and Southwest, theand thus fittingly closes heroic period of Spanish and French explo- ration in North America.
