		Such was Robert Cavalier Sieur de LaSalle, a gentleman of France, who claimed the heart of an empire for his monarch, a colonial empire which other kings who followed Louis XIV allowed to slip from their grasp into the hands of England, their ancient rival.
		It was a grand scheme, that youthful LaSalle had in mind-to set up a chain of forts in the heart of the continent that would shut off the westward expansion of the British colonies adding beyond measure to the wealth and domain of his beloved France and at the same time enrich his own fortune.
		LaSalle, then, at 23 set himself up with a grant of land at Montreal Island, Canada, called LaChine by some in derision because in all his wanderings he was like others-he could not find a direct and shorter route to China.
