La Salle is one of the best-known but least-understood explorers of human history. Celebrated for following the Mississippi to its mouth in Louisiana, he was berated for failing to relocate that same area when he came by sea. This title describes the man whose journeys encouraged explorers from other European nations to survey the southeastern US.
