Robert Cavelier: The Romance Of The Sieur De La Salle And His Discovery Of The Mississippi River is a historical book written by William Dana Orcutt and published in 1904. The book tells the story of Robert Cavelier, a French explorer who is better known as Sieur de La Salle. The book is a detailed account of La Salle's life, his travels, and his discovery of the Mississippi River. The book begins with La Salle's early life and education in France and then goes on to describe his journey to North America in the late 17th century. La Salle's travels take him from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, and the book details his exploration of the Great Lakes, the Ohio River, and the Illinois River. The book focuses on La Salle's determination to find a route to China and his belief that the Mississippi River would lead him there. The book describes the challenges La Salle faced on his journey, including hostile Native American tribes, difficult terrain, and harsh weather conditions. The book also provides a detailed account of La Salle's interactions with the Native American tribes he encountered along the way, as well as his relationships with his fellow explorers and the French authorities who supported his journey. Overall, Robert Cavelier: The Romance Of The Sieur De La Salle And His Discovery Of The Mississippi River is a fascinating and informative account of one of the most important explorers in American history.
