La Salle made several journeys. One was from Montreal to the Niagara River. He sailed down the Mississippi River and built a fort at what is now Memphis and on the return trip built a fort in Fort Saint Louis, Illinois. His final trip was to build a fort at the mouth of the Mississippi River but ended up in Matagorda Bay near where Houston, Texas is. He was 500 miles off course and most of his men died. The remaining men chose to kill La Salle and escape.
Fort Snelling is know to be built by Lt. Zebulon M. Pike. He was sent on the difficult mission of finding the source of the Mississippi river and got a treaty signed handing over land from the native Americans to the whites. :)
