"Joutel's Journal of La Salle's Last Voyage, 1684-7" by Henri Joutel is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The journal chronicles the third and final expedition of the French explorer Robert Cavelier de La Salle, detailing the challenges and adventures encountered during the quest to locate the mouth of the Mississippi River. This work serves as an eyewitness narrative, offering insights into early exploration, interactions with Native American tribes, and the hardships faced by the expedition's crew. The opening of the journal sets the stage for the narrative, introducing the author, Henri Joutel, who embarked on the expedition alongside La Salle, motivated by a spirit of adventure and the desire for personal fortune. Joutel outlines the preparations for the voyage, detailing the selection of the crew and the necessary supplies gathered for the journey. He establishes a sense of camaraderie and the challenges ahead, hinting at both the physical and interpersonal conflicts that the group would face as they navigated the vast and largely uncharted territories of North America. The description of La Salle's ambitious plans and the anticipation of the unknown create an engaging atmosphere right from the start, promising a detailed recounting of one of history's significant exploration efforts.
