C rc c CocLir was built. He sent an ex- pedition to the upper Mississippi w liilc he returned to Fort Frantenac lor sup- plies. He returned to find the Illinois Posts deserted by Henri de Tonti, whose work had been interrupted by Ir- oquois Indian attacks. La Salle orga- nized an Indian Federation of the Illi- nois, the Miami, and Miiall tribes to fight the Iroquois. Reunited with Tonti at Macinac Island. La Salle descended the Missis- sippi River with a small party that rea- ched the river mouth on 09 April 1682. He took possession ofthewhole M issis- sippi Valley in the name of France, calling the region Louisiana. La Salle completed Fort St. Louis in 1683 and left for France, where he obtained pow- er to colonize and govern the region be- tween Lake Michigan and the Gulf of Mexico. He set sail from France in four ships, hoping to reach the mouth of the lississip|ii, but disaster o ertook the expedition. One ship was captured by Spaniards, a second was wrecked and a third turned back to France. The coast of the Gulf of Mexico was such a sandy sameness to the eye that La Salle did not find the mouth of the Mis- sissippi. Instead, he landed on the Tex- as shore, probably at Lavaca Bay, an arm of Matagorda Bay. From here, fu- tile attempts were made to reach the Mississippi overland. His men grew mutinous. The great explorer died in 1687 while attempting to find the Mis- sissippi. He was murdered b his own men.
