81 Around the name of Robert Cavcller, the
sicur dc La Sale, and the discoverer OF
the Mississippi is gathered all the ro-
nance and tradition in which American
history is said as a rule to be lacking.
Born in Old France, educated by the
Jesuits under the reign of Il monarch
whose Z extravaganzas and caprlces be-
slowed upon him the title Of The Mag
4niGccnt;" stinled in the atmosphere Of
serviity and subservienco which char
acteriZed the Jesutica system and lifc
ut the French court; finding tho an
tithesis OF all that barred FREQ life OF
independence In the rugged Wilds, the
savage vastncss and the rockbuilt fort
rcsses of New France, La Sallo Is from
first to last the typical soldier Of for
tune, a foremost leader in the vanguard
of the brave souls who dominated the
and shaped its future end and destiny.
The mark of his explorations may be
read to-day from the source of the lordly
Mississippi along its entire course to the
great Southern Sea, which has since been
known as the Gulf OF Mexico, where he
raised column to the King Of France.
and proclaimed to his little band of fol-
lovers.
