ilous
adventures, and his pure and sincerely devout spirit, caused him to be
regarded as eminently the great man of the pioneers in this new world.
He was Alonzo did everything in his power to redeem the captives, and
that he ordered the dead to be buried, weeping over their misfortunes,
and praying most earnestly for the salvation of their souls.

Such was the wonderful career of La Salle. Next to Columbus, he was the
most illustrious of the pioneers of the New World. It would be
difficult to find, in history, any one who has displayed in a higher
degree the noble qualities of energy, courage, and perseverance,
combined with the more gentle virtues of tenderness, humanity, and
amiability. Adversity seemed to have no power to dishearten him. His
character was pure, and we have no reason to doubt that he was in heart
a sincere Christian. In the past history of our country, there are but
few names which are entitled to stand so high on its roll of fame, as
that of the Chevalier de la Salle.
