Online Highways Illinois Famous Illinoisans Louis Hennepin Louis Hennepin was one of the more well-known explorers of the "New World" in the latter portion of the 17th century. He was born in Belgium in 1640 and later traveled with Rene' Robert, Sieur de La Salle having a background that included study and missionary work within the Cathelic church. Hennepin's first outpost in Canada was in Quebec and soon was drawn to learning the native languages that would be so vital in the months and years to come. The most famous of Hennepin's expeditions set sail in August of 1679 when laSalle traveled the western shores of Lake Michigan eventually traveling down the Illinois River (which was so named by the young priest). As the expedition reached the mouth of the Illinois, they turned north up the Mississippi River on a "voyage of discovery". After encountering and surviving the group's capture by a band of Issati Sioux, Hennepin returned to Rome where he died in 1701.

Not every nation would be willing to revisit (much less commemorate) a muttonheaded move like that, but France is helping do so with a dazzling exhibition at the New Orleans Museum of Art to mark the 200th anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase. So let's back off the surrender jokes. The French are being good sports about this.

29. History And Distribution Of Feral Hogs In Texas credited with bringing the first hogs to the new world when he wild hogs in Texasprobably resulted from rene robert, Sieur de lasalle s failed attempt http://texnat.tamu.edu/symposia/feral/feral-6.htm

HISTORY AND DISTRIBUTION OF FERAL HOGS IN TEXAS RICHARD B. TAYLOR, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, P. O. Box 5207, Uvalde, Texas 78802 Abstract: Feral hogs are old world members of the swine family whose ancestors date back to the ice age. Early explorers and missionaries brought the first swine into Texas, but the feral populations originated during colonization. In the twentieth century, introductions of domestic hogs and European boars into the wild by landowners and sportsman further enhanced the population. Changing land use practices, improved animal husbandry, and eradication of diseases have enabled the feral hog to adapt and disperse throughout most of Texas. With an estimated population of one million animals, feral hog numbers rank second behind the white-tailed deer as a large mammal population and are an intregal part of Texas fauna. Feral hogs belong to the family Suidae which is the same family of the domestic breeds. There are approximately 23 normally recognized subspecies of wild hogs in the world; however, some discrepancies do occur between professionals (Mayer and Brisbin,1991). Feral hogs include domestic hogs gone wild, European boars, and crosses between the two. The history of feral hogs in Texas must be traced back to the original domestic breeds first brought to the state. Hogs are old world species and are not indigenous to the New World. The predecessors to the modern swine family date back prior to the ice age. Although the ice age was extremely hard on them, they managed to survive between major glaciations. Their adaptability is still evident in the modern wild pigs which currently inhabit Texas. As the world was shifting and continents being formed, the swine family was excluded from the new world. Because of the extreme cold and ice, they were unable to cross the Bering land bridge between Alaska and Russia, the only possible entrance to the New World prior to separation. On the European and Asian continents of the Old World, wild hogs thrived through the stone ages. Bones have been found in caves that indicates early man hunted and ate swine (Towne and Wentworth, 1950).

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... Z Explorer, born at Rouen, 1643; died in Texas, 1687. In his youth he displayed an unusual precocity in mathematics and a predilection for natural science; his outlook upon life was somewhat puritanical. Whether or not he was educated with a view to entering the Society of Jesus is a matter of doubt, though some religious order he must have subsequently joined, for to this fact is assigned the forfeiture of his estates. The career of a churchman was definitely abandoned, however, when, after receiving the feudal grant of a tract of land at La Chine on the St. Lawrence from the Sulpicians, seigneurs of Montrealperhaps through the influence of a elder brother who was a member of the order at that placehe came to Canada as an adventurer and trader in 1666. For three years La Salle remained quietly upon his little estate, mastering Indian dialects and meditating on a southwest passage. Upon the latter quest he set out in 1669 with a party of Sulpicians, who, deeming that there was greater missionary work among the north-western tribes, soon abandoned the expedition. La salle's subsequent travels on this occasion are shrouded in an obscurity that will perhaps never be dispelled. Whether he was the first white man to gaze upon Niagara, whether he explored the Allegheny valley or the Ohio river, he seems not to have reached the Mississippi, Joliet's undisputed claim to that distinction during La Salle's residence in Canada being regarded, at present, as finally established. Indeed Joliet's announcement, some few years later, that the

Social Studies Lesson 1 - Introduction to European Explorers SCoPE Site Lesson Plan Title: Abstract As they begin a study of explorers to the Americas, students participate in a list/group/label reading strategy to access their prior knowledge about European explorers. They also refer to biographies and encyclopedias to add to their knowledge. The students are shown a list of explorers. Using resources about explorers, each student is given an explorer to study. The students then participate in a jigsaw study strategy to gather information on other explorers. The lesson culminates with a group discussion as the class builds a large graphic organizer that reflects the findings from the jigsaw activity. Students also have the opportunity to add or make changes to their individual list/group/label information.
