The La Salle Expedition on the Mississippi River presents the definitive English translation of Nicolas de La Salle's diary account of Rene-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle's 1682 discovery expedition of the Mississippi River from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. This previously unknown manuscript copy was discovered recently in the collection of rare books in the Texas State Archives.
It provides the most complete and authoritative account available of this historic North American adventure and territorial claim. By careful cross-document analysis, Foster projects an extended expedition chronology that adds about two weeks to the journey, corrects the date that La Salle's claim was announced, and revises erroneous interpretations made by most contemporary French and American scholars. The work includes maps prepared by the noted Southwest cartographer John V. Cotter.

The La Salle Expedition on the Mississippi River: A Lost Manuscript of Nicolas de la Salle, 1682
After 150 pages, I'm sorry to say, this book is soooooo boring. I'm sure Fiennes has an interesting life and the stories he tells are well worth listening to, but the way they are written is terrible (sorry!). I had to really force myself to pay attention to what the author was talking about because the stories he tells are a bit all over the shop.
I gave this a go and I'm still excited to see his presentation later this year in Sydney, but this book is just too boring for me and hard to read.
