They were the first to navigate the Mississippi and its tributaries, and they founded St. Louis and New Orleans. Though France lost her North American possessions in 1763, thousands of her natives remained on the continent. Many of them were voyageurs for Hudson’s Bay Company, whose descendants would join American fur trade companies plying the trans-Mississippi West.
