Journal Entry: Robert LaSalle

Marquette and Jolliet turned back before reaching the end of the Mississippi.  Robert LaSalle followed in their footsteps, determined to navigate the river to its end.

You are to write an entry into LaSalle’s journal about the day his expedition arrives at the mouth of the Mississippi.  What are his emotions as he looks out into the vast body of water that is the Gulf of Mexico?   Has it been worth the journey?  He now knows the river is not the Northwest Passage.  But is the land still worthwhile to the French?

Please use complete sentences.

    I think he would be very amazed what he saw. He probably was thinking this land is perfect for the French.

    RAHM BAKSHI I Robert Lasalle have seen the end of the Mississippi. It is very beautiful. I think it was worth going here even though there was no Northwest Passage. I will get rewarded for exploring this beautiful land. Now I can claim the land for our people…. The French.

    I think it was worth the trip because he claimed all the tribtaries of the Mississippi River. I’m sure he was tired and hungry but at he end he was happy. I think he thought it was very beautiful.
