The text below is a reprint from a series published by the The Courier-Express Reprinted with Permission The Building of the Griffon By Dr. Joseph A. Grande B y the mid-1670s, Rene Robert Cavalier Sieur de La Salle had designed a scheme for building a fleet of ships to operate between trading posts on the Great Lakes, carrying goods east to Montreal. One would sail between Fort Frontenac, where Lake Ontario empties into the St. Lawrence, and the Niagara wilderness. Others would navigate the upper lakes, bringing goods to Niagara for transshipment to Montreal. The young explorer returned to France in 1677 to obtain royal permission and recruit followers to assist him. Accompanied by a group of capable lieutenants, he journeyed back to the New World with a license to explore, trade and erect forts in the interior of New France. Among La Salle's chief lieutenants was Father Louis Hennepin , a zealous Franciscan missionary who did not hesitate to engage in secular as well as spiritual activities when circumstances demanded. Also included was Dominque de La Motte-Lussiere lured by tales of great wealth waiting to be extracted from the American wilderness.

Through reading, writing, and research, students examine how European explorers extended what was known about their world. Using a journal, students put themselves in the role of a fifteenth or sixteenth century explorer, examining daily life at that period and forces that motivated these men. Students make oral presentations about individual explorers after researching their lives and daily life at that time. The unit culminates with students preparing and delivering a persuasive speech expressing a position regarding who discovered America.

McDonald, PhD The Texas saga of Rene Robert, Seiur de la Salle began near Matagorda Bay and ended much closer to East Texas. LaSalle led the first French exploration through the interior of the continent all the way to the mouth of the Mississippi River in 1682, then won approval to plant a permanent colony there. A colony would tie down both ends of the continent's eastern waterways for France. When LaSalle returned in 1684 with his colonists, he landed about 400 miles west of the Mississippi. Whether this reflected poor navigation or simple ignorance of New World topography is debated yet. From his previous exploration of the Mississippi River, he knew that the river divided into many streams near the Gulf of Mexico. Extant records indicate that at first he regarded Matagorda Bay as the western mouth of the "Colbert" River, the original French name for the Mississippi. Explorations convinced LaSalle that his assumption was false and that his plantation, known as Fort St. Louis, lay far to the west of his intended destination. LaSalle also made mistakes in recruiting for the adventure. Too many "gentlemen," or those unaccustomed to work, composed the colony. Faced with failure, LaSalle left most of his colonists ensconced in the palisaded Fort St. Louis and traveled eastward with just a few men to try to reach other French outposts. Along the way, LaSalle was ambushed and killed by Pierre Duhaut, one of his countrymen, near a Hasinai village on March 19, 1687. So the mystery is not "who dun it" but "where did he do it?"

The fledgling nation would use the momentum of the purchase to grow from sea to shining sea, to capture Texas and the Southwest from Mexico, and to secure the Pacific Northwest from European rivals. In the process, America would become a true melting pot. The Louisiana Purchase, of course, was the world's biggest land deal, whereby 200 years ago this month, Thomas Jefferson's special envoy, James Monroe, got Napoleon Bonaparte to sell to the United States what would become all or part of 13 to 17 states (depending on whom you ask) for something like 3 or 4 cents an acre. Consider, too, how profoundly it changed the United States' destiny. No longer limited to its original borders or the land between the Alleghenies and the Mississippi, the United States would use the momentum of the Louisiana Purchase to grow from sea to shining sea, to capture Texas and the Southwest from Mexico, and to secure the Pacific Northwest from European rivals.

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).

"It's fitting that we make this announcement on Texas' Independence Day because we have a gift for Texas: The Amiable has been found," said Austin attorney Wayne Gronquist, a member of the National Underwater and Marine Agency, which located the vessel Feb. 23 and retrieved an encrusted flintlock musket and pistol used to identify the ship as the Amiable.

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... CICDC - Home of the Catholic Lifetime Reading Plan 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

La Salle claimed the entire Mississippi Valley for France. His many explorations strengthened France's hopes for a great empire in the New World. Early life La Salle was born in Rouen, France. His real name was Rene-Robert Cavelier. He took the name La Salle from the name of his family's estate. As a youth, La Salle went to schools run by Jesuit priests and studied to be a Jesuit. However, he left the religious training in 1665 to seek adventure. The next year, La Salle sailed to Canada, where France had established a colony. La Salle obtained some land near Montreal and became a prosperous fur trader. He did much of his trading with Indians, who told him of two great rivers to the southwest, the Mississippi and the Ohio. The Indians believed these rivers flowed into the sea. La Salle thought one or both of the rivers might be a route through North America to the Pacific Ocean. In 1669, he sold his land and set out in search of the rivers.
