By Jean Cavelier

Book Overview

The Journal of Jean Cavelier is a historical account of the ill-fated Texas expedition led by French explorer Ren�����-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, in the late 17th century. The book is written by Jean Cavelier, the younger brother of La Salle, who was one of the few survivors of the expedition. The journal provides a detailed and vivid description of the journey from France to North America, the establishment of Fort St. Louis in Texas, and the subsequent struggles and hardships faced by the expedition. It also includes accounts of encounters with Native American tribes, battles with the Spanish, and the eventual demise of the expedition due to disease, starvation, and internal conflict.
