Extractions: Charlevoix The first Europeans to come to LaSalle County, Illinois, were the French. Arriving in the late 1600s, the French called the region the Illinois Country, a title reflecting the influence of the dominant local Native people, the Illinois. Among these early arrivals were priests, soldiers, traders, explorers and carpenters, each group with a different goal-oriented duty to perform. The priest saw this new country as an untapped mission field, ripe with potential converts. Explorers saw it as a new empire to claim for the glory of the king. Traders saw riches to be made in the fur trade, and the soldier was the visible symbol of French imperial might. technological advantage over an enemy who may outnumber his people. To the east and north the British, French, and Dutch traded with the native people; the revolutionary transition these European trade items made to the old way of life was immense. It was therefore in the best interests of the local Illinois to be on good terms with the French, who held the keys to the stores of progress. In the late 1600s, the Church of Rome was a powerful institution in France. Although French Protestants known as the Huguenots offered a religious alternative, France was essentially a one-religion country. Within the Roman Catholic Church itself there were competing societies. Some of these societies included the Recollects, the Sulpicians, and the most influential of all, the Jesuits.

Extractions: In a series of migrations that occurred during the last stages of the Pleistocene Ice Age, Mongoloid peoples from Asia entered North America, probably crossing the Bering Strait. Gradually they spread over the continent and into South America. By 1600, more than 250,000 of their descendants inhabited what is now Canada. Developing a Stone Age economy, they hunted, fished, and gathered food and, in warmer areas, also farmed. The basic social unit was the band, which varied from a few families to several hundred people. In areas of higher settlement density, bands were organized into nations and even larger units such as confederacies. The largest linguistic group was the Algonquian , which included migratory hunters such as the Cree and Naskapi in the eastern subarctic region and the Abenaki and Micmac in the eastern woodlands on the coast. By the 18th century, Algonquians had spread west, where the Ottawa, Ojibwa, Blackfoot, Plains Cree, and others roamed the prairies and plains in search of buffalo.
Extractions: Full Review It would be tough to imagine two more antipathetic personalities than those of Rene-Robert Cavalier, Sieur de La Salle, and Francis Parkman. That the latter should have become the biographer of the former is remarkable. That the resulting work should be one of the landmarks of the historian's craft is a gracious miracle. The Modern Library, under Series Editor Jon Krakauer, of Into Thin Air fame, has just reprinted Parkman's La Salle and the Discovery of the Great West as one of the leading works in the Modern Library's new Exploration Series. It is high time it was back in print. (By the bye, in addition to the links provided here, you can probably pick up a copy of this and other works in this new series Severin, Nansen, and so on at your local Rand McNally shop.)

Extractions: Main Business Park htmlAdWH('7002182', '234', '60'); Old Fort Niagara - Youngstown, NY The history of Old Fort Niagara spans more than 300 years. During the colonial wars in North America a fort at the mouth of the Niagara River was vital, for it controlled access to the Great Lakes and westward route to the heartland of the continent. With the completion of the Erie Canal in 1825, the strategic value of Fort Niagara diminished. It remained an active military post into the twentieth century. This was Fort Niagara's last armed conflict, and it thereafter served as a peaceful border post. The garrison expanded beyond the walls following the Civil War. Fort Niagara was a barracks and training station for American soldiers throughout both World Wars. The last army units were withdrawn in 1963. Today, the U.S. Coast Guard represents the only military presence on the site. Old Fort Niagara was restored between 1926 and 1934. It's operated by the Old Fort Niagara Association, Inc. a non-profit organization in cooperation with the New York State Office of parks, Recreation and Historic preservation. Museum Shop sales, grants, donations provide support for the operation of the site. Membership in the Old Fort Niagara Association is open to all ask for details at the entrance of the fort, at the Museum Shop, or contact Old Fort Niagara Association, P.O. Box 169, Youngstown, NY 14174, telephone 1-716-745-7611. Details of Old Fort Niagara The buildings of Old Fort Niagara represent many different periods of history. Most are original and were erected between 1726 and 1872. Large plaques representing the arms of France, Great Britain and the United States indicate the nation responsible for the construction of each. Fort Niagara contained nearly 100 other buildings during its long history. They disappeared, but archaeologists are now uncovering their foundations.

Extractions: Exploring North America : La Salle traveled from France to Quebec, New France (Canada), in late 1667. He was determined to find a water passage to the east through North America. Leaving Montreal in July, 1669, La Salle crossed Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, and other places which are not documented (he did not return to Montreal until late 1670, and may have traveled down the Ohio or Mississippi River). La Salle made many exploring trips during the years 1671 to 1673. La Salle returned to France in 1677, getting permission form the King to explore the area between Florida, Mexico and New France (Canada). He returned to Canada in 1678 with his friend, Henri de Tonty, and others. In Canada, they constructed a fort on the Niagara River (between Ontario and New York) and built a ship called the Griffon, which they used to explore the Great Lakes. They sailed on August 7, 1679, traveling across Lake Erie and Lake Huron. They traveled across land to Lake Michigan, which they paddled across in canoes. Returning, they discovered that the Griffon was lost, the fort at Niagara had burned down, and many men had deserted their posts, robbing supply stores.

Extractions: Web posted at: 11:25 p.m. EST CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (CNN) More than 300 years ago, a ship belonging to the French explorer La Salle sank during a violent storm off what is now the coast of Texas. This fall, on land, researchers were introduced to a nearly intact skeleton who may have been a member of the crew. (1.1MB/28 sec. QuickTime movie of the dig The wreck of the La Belle was found a year ago by a research team in 14 feet (4 meters) of water near the small town of Palacios. In a rare archeological drama, they began excavating the site in September after a dam was built around the wreck and the Matagorda Bay waters were pumped out. Among their dry-land discoveries was the skeleton, who may have been someone who died of thirst during the voyage. (306K/28 sec. AIFF or WAV sound) Barto Arnold, project director The skeleton is not believed to be that of La Salle, also known as Rene-Robert Cavelier. He was murdered by mutinous members of his expedition in 1687, a year after the Belle sank while it was anchored in the bay. La Salle had led an expedition there, thinking it was the mouth of the Mississippi River. He was away on land exploring when the ship went down. The ship and its contents are well preserved because they sank quickly into the seabed, where the sand and mud kept out the corrosive effects of oxygen. The La Belle is believed to have been one of the first ships to visit that coast.

He entered a Jesuit novitiate as a boy but later left the religious life. In 1666 he went to Canada, where he developed a seigniory at Lachine. In 1673 the governor of New France, Frontenac, made him commandant of Fort Frontenac (see Kingston , Ont., Canada). After a visit to France, where he was granted a patent of nobility, La Salle began (1675) to develop the trade at the post. In 1677 he was in France again and obtained a patent to build forts, explore, and trade. When he returned, he brought with him Henri de Tonti , who was his lieutenant in later enterprises.

Extractions: European exploration and colonization shaped the character of the Americas and Illinois. Dramatic changes occurred not only in the lives of the Europeans who came to the New World, but also in the lives of the native peoples they encountered and the African slaves who were unwilling immigrants to the Americas. This lesson examines the unique experience of the French who explored inland North America, developed a relationship with Native Americans through the fur trade and missionary efforts, and opened Illinois to further European settlement. Many French settlers moved away from their Illinois villages as territorial control shifted to the British.
