About This Item

Grasset. Very Good+. 1992. Paperback. 224639581X . A Very Good+ Paperback. An inscription to the previous owner on the front end paper, otherwise, clean & unmarked pages. Tightly bound. An uncreased spine with wear to the spine hinges. "Louis XIV écrivait au gouverneur du Canada : "Mon intention n'est pas que vous fassiez de grands voyages en remontant le fleuve de Saint-Laurent, ni que vous poussiez au loin des découvertes au-dedans des terres." Et pourtant, à la fin de son règne, il était devenu maître d'un immense empire qui joignait le Canada à la Louisiane. Il le devait à Robert Cavelier de La Salle (1643-1687) , un fils de négociants de Rouen, qui, renonçant à la Compagnie de Jésus, partit à vingt-cinq ans pour le Canada. Il apprit des Indiens la science des bois et des rivières, la résistance au froid, à la faim, à l'épuisement, il trouva la force de descendre le cours du Mississippi et de parcourir, en canoë et à pied, les six mille kilomètres qui séparent le Canada du golfe du Mexique, pour la gloire de les offrir à son roi. La Salle y laissa la vie, mais il mourut en héros, en homme pour qui la victoire résidait moins dans la conquête que dans la connaissance." ; 135 X 0.65 X 215 inches; 284 pages .
