Description:The La Verendrye family, father and sons, took an active part during the 1730s and 1740s in the movement of the French from Canada toward the West in the interest of the Indian fur trade, international rivalry, and the search for the Western Sea. Excellent fur traders and explorers, they moved south and west from their headquarters north of Lake Superior and pushed the line of French-Canadian posts toward the Rocky Mountains. They were the first Europeans to explore the northern plains area and to leave a record of their passage.The explorations of the La Verendryes in 1738-39 and 1742-43 are here placed in their proper historical setting. In two short preliminary chapters, the author recounts the early history of the La Verendryes to 1738. Chapter 3 is a shortened version of the journal of the 1738-39 expedition to the Missouri River, followed by Smith's analysis in chapter 4. After a short chapter on the years 1739-42, editor Wood reproduces the entire journal of the 1742-43 expedition (based on Burpee), followed by Smith's interpretation of the journal in the manner of chapter 4.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
