LA SALLE AND HIS LEGACY. Frenchmen And Indians In The Lower Mississippi Valley. by Galloway, Patricia K. (edited by) - 1982

University Press of Mississippi:, 1982. 160 pages, illustrated in b&w. "To most people it probably seems that La Salle and his men, permanently fixed in the pantheon of explorers of the North American continent, need little further introduction. The fact is that this whole early period of exploration and colonization by the French in the southeastern United States has received far less scholarly attention than the corresponding England and Spanish activities in the same area, and even the existing scholarship has failed to focus clearly upon the Indian tribes whose attitudes toward the European newcomers wre crucial to their very survival."
