Answer:

Sieur de La Salle was a french explorer who came to America with a large expedition. They were aiming to form a large french settlement at the mouth of river Mississippi. The exploration was ruined partly by pirates which capture one of their ships and partly by their misfortune two others were sunk. In desperation his men killed him.
