Killing of Robert Cavelier de La Salle, 1697

René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, or Robert de La Salle (November 22, 1643 - March 19, 1687) was a French explorer. He explored the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada, the Mississippi River, and the Gulf of Mexico. La Salle's major legacy was establishing the network of forts from Fort Frontenac to outposts along the Great Lakes, Ohio, Illinois and Mississippi rivers that came to define French territorial, diplomatic and commercial policy for almost a century between his first expedition and the 1763 cession of New France to Great Britain. La Salle claimed the entire Mississippi River basin for France. His visits to Illinois and other Indians cemented the French policy of alliance with Indians in the common causes of containing both Iroquois influence and Anglo-American settlement. He gave the name Louisiana to the interior North American territory he claimed for France. During his last major expedition La Salle, was slain by Pierre Duhaut. He was 43 years old.
