About this listen
Rene-Robert Cavelier Sieur de la Salle was an arrogant monk-turned-adventurer (this sounds like the start of a D&D campaign) responsible for most of the French expansion in the Great Lakes area and along the Mississippi River. Of course, as an adventurer, he's used to loss, but his final expedition was particularly plagued by shipwrecks (multiple), snake bites, prickly pear incidents, and Indigenous nations. Tough break.
