La Salle's Griffin Voyage and the Founding of Louisiana
The account recounts La Salle leading the Griffin down the Great Lakes and the Illinois and Mississippi rivers to claim lands for France. It notes encounters with Arkansa and Taenca tribes, the April 1682 cross at the Mississippi mouth, the naming of Louisiana after Louis XIV, and La Salle's later failed return with 400 men, ending in his death at age 43 on the Texas coast from an internal conflict.
