In 1682, Robert de la Salle journeyed to the Gulf of Mexico, and named the region Louisiana in honour of the French king, Louis XIV. This was now part of New France.

To keep Spain and England out, the French built forts along the Mississippi. One fort was named New Orleans.

Did coureur de bois travel with the missionaries?

Yes, coureurs de bois, or "runners of the woods," often traveled with missionaries in New France. These French fur traders and explorers collaborated with Jesuit and other religious missionaries to navigate the wilderness and establish trade relationships with Indigenous peoples.
