• WATERCOLOUR OF ROBERT LASALLE'S
  WATERCOLOUR OF ROBERT LASALLE'S HOUSEA watercolour by Aurora Dixon, 1897, of the abandoned "Lasalle House" on the Lower Lachine Road in Lachine Québec. Robert Lasalle arrived in New France in 1666 and received a land grant from the Sulpician Order in 1667. Because of Lasalle's obsession with finding a route to the Orient, his seigneurie was nicknamed "La Chine", eventually becoming the municipality of Lachine. Good condition, mounted in the original frame. Signed and dated. H: 6.25"; W: 9" (at sight).
• [EXPLORATION] La Salle in the
  [EXPLORATION] La Salle in the Valley of the St. Joseph Bartlett Charles H. and Lyon Richard H. La Salle in the Valley of the St. Joseph. An Historical Fragment. South Bend (IN): Tribune Printing Company 1899. 12mo maroon cloth with gilt front and spine 118pp plus map (119). A scarce Midwest printing. The authors explain that the work was the result of an oversight on the part of the architects of the new court house in St. Joseph County IN built 1897-98. There were spaces with no plan for decorations so the authors suggested scenes from the history of the county. Their research into significant events resulted in both the paintings at the court house and this book explaining those events. The book is illustrated with half-tones of the paintings as well as other scenes in the county. Each chapter has a "frontis"-type illustration plus additional views. Condition: Shelf wear especially to spine ends and corners. Previous owner's signature on front pastedown and random internal pages. Frontmatter just beginning to release but overall remarkably clean internally.

  Henri Joutel (French 1643-1745) A Journal of the Last Voyage Perform'd by Mons. de la Sale to the Gulph of Mexico To find out the Mouth of the Missisipi River... published by Bell Lintoss and Baker London 1714 12mo first English edition three-quarter leather 210 pages complete with scarce map; "A New Map of the Country of Louisiana and of Missisipi..." with an inset view of Niagara Falls sheet 14 1/2 in. x 15 3/4 in. Provenance: Chicago Historical Society (with their stamp and discard label). Note: Joutel's work is an important narrative of la Salle's ill-fated expedition. La Salle received royal approval for his plans to establish a French colony in Louisiana in 1684. Intending to establish the settlement at the mouth of the Mississippi his ship instead blew off course and landed in Texas. He established a colony there which failed resulting in la Salle's assassination by his own men. Joutel survived the insurgence and his account is the best description of la Salle's expedition to Louisiana and Texas. Reference: Church 859 Howes J-266 Sabin 36762 Streeter sale I:112.

Note: This was the first map to accurately describe the vast Mississippi Valley and as such was widely copied and referred to for the next fifty years.
