Charles Alexandre Lesueur, 1778-1846, artist and naturalist, participated in Napoleon's expedition to Australia (1800-1804), and joined William Maclure in his geologic survey of Europe, the West Indies and the Eastern United States (1815-1817).
Lesueur and Péron were commissioned by Napoleon in 1807 to produce an account of the voyage, and published the first volume, containing forty-one plates of profiles of coasts and maps, scenes of the Australian areas, flora and fauna, and ethnographic subjects.

The Mount Lesueur area's strikingly eroded laterite landscape was once dismissed as worthless scrubland, useless to farmers and pastoralists.
Lesueur is the extreme limit of jarrah's distribution and the next stand lies more than 100 kilometres to the south, suggesting that the tree's general range extended much further in previous eras, presumably when conditions were much wetter.
Lesueur National Park is undoubtedly one of the scenic and biological jewels of the southern half of Western Australia, with its diverse plants and animals, rich in rare species, and its spectacular landforms.

The woodlands of Lesueur have been identified as one of the few remaining breeding habitats in the district for Carnaby's fl cockatoos.
The close proximity of breeding and feeding areas makes Lesueur a particularly important area for this species, as its population and range appear to be diminishing.

 Darwin-L Message Log 5: 1-40 (January 1994)
Darwin-L was not restricted to evolutionary biology nor to the work of Charles Darwin, but instead addressed the entire range of historical sciences from an explicitly comparative perspective, including evolutionary biology, historical linguistics, textual transmission and stemmatics, historical geology, systematics and phylogeny, archeology, paleontology, cosmology, historical geography, historical anthropology, and related “palaetiological” fields.
Lesueur's considerable skill as an artist will enable him to illustrate many of the expedition's finer specimens, but the early death of Peron will delay the completion of the expedition's report, and most of Lesueur's illustrations will never be published.
Charles Darwin, with his provincial background and non-U (though well-to-do) status, is a paradigmatic instance.

Even more revelatory are the Australian visions Baudin's artists Charles-Alexandre Lesueur and Nicolas-Martin Petit took home with them, which have rarely left the vaulted walls of the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle in Le Havre, near Paris.
Lesueur, who had providently packed "ma boite de couleurs, crayons, etc," was among the earliest colonial artists to record an Aboriginal corroboree, while Petit's portraits of Tasmanians were the first to name and humanize, rather than caricature, their indigenous subjects.
Lesueur's images of Australian flora and fauna are similarly lit by strong emotion.

 Bone Bank: Introduction
Lesueur concluded that the artifacts and features at Bone Bank were from an ancient American Indian occupation, rather than the creation of "Mound Builders."
A popular regional pastime in the late 1800s and early 1900s was to go to the Wabash riverbank to "dig" out display-quality artifacts.
Illustrations of some of the pottery was published by Ephraim Squier and Edwin Davis in their 1847 "Ancient Monuments...." Many of the collected vessels and other artifacts were acquired by Charles Artes, an Evansville man, who later sold them to Harmon W Hendricks who made the purchase for the Heye Foundation.
