Robert de La Salle discovered the mouth of the Mississippi river and claimed the whole Mississippi river valley. His men built forts on Lake Ontario and traveled from Lake Erie to Lake Huron to Lake Michigan. They carried canoes from Lake Michigan to South Bend, Indiana to the Kankakee River to the Illinois River. They built more forts at what is now St. Joseph, Michigan and Peoria, Illinois.
