Summary "The Adventures of the Chevalier De La Salle and His Companions" by John S. C. Abbott is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the explorations of the renowned French explorer Robert de La Salle as he and his companions navigate the uncharted waters and territories of the New World. The narrative emphasizes their encounters with various Indigenous tribes, as well as the challenges and triumphs they experience during their quests for discovery. At the start of the work, Abbott introduces the central figure, Father James Marquette, who undertakes a missionary journey full of adventure and spiritual fulfillment. The opening describes Marquette's determination to traverse the wilderness in search of the Mississippi River, reflecting on the historical significance of these explorations two hundred years prior. It establishes the context of the story by covering the early explorations of French envoys in Canada, emphasizing the relationships between the French and Indigenous peoples while setting the stage for La Salle's later journeys into the heart of America.
