10 - Discovery and Exploration of the Mississippi Valley by John Gilmary Shea

Embark on a historical journey through the early narratives of the discovery and exploration of the Mississippi Valley. This podcast brings to life Marquettes authentic maps and voyages as they were originally documented. Listen to the stories of the missionaries who accompanied La Salle on his expedition, previously unpublished and now accessible for the first time. This detailed study of the life of Marquette and the exploration itself is the culmination of years of research into early Spanish and French sources, many of which have never before been publicly explored.
