Hi my name is Robert La Salle. My voyage was to find gold in the gulf of the Mississippi River. I brang my sailors with to find the gold in the mississppi river. I was born 1642 in Rouen France and I died 1687 20 years old. When I was at the gulf of the mississippi river I met some indians on my journey. They had a lot of gold so we took it and I shared the gold with my sailors.
