Rene-Robert La Salle's major accomplishment was the exploration of the Mississippi River. In 1682, he led an expedition down the river, becoming the first European to navigate its entire length and claim the entire Mississippi River watershed for France. His exploration opened up new territories for colonization and trade in North America.
