1714 Joutel Journal Voyage MEXICO La Salle Texas Expedition Indians Mississippi
The BEST account of the La Salle's Texas Expedition!
Henri Joutel was an important 17th-century French explorer who is best remembered for his involvement in the final American expedition of Rene de La Salle. The Texas Expedition of Sla Salle began in 1684 when he and crew left France to establish a colony on the Gulf of Mexico. The voyage is one of the most important European voyages in search of the Mississippi River – a voyage the ended in mutiny and the death of La Salle. The established colony was a failure after being overtaken by Karankawa Indians.
According to Howes,
"Most reliable eye-witness account of La Salle's two-years wanderings in Texas."
