The La Salle Expedition on the Mississippi River presents the definitive English translation of Nicolas de La Salle’s diary account of René-Robert Cavelier; Sieur de La Salle’s 1682 discovery expedition of the Mississippi River from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. This previously unknown manuscript copy was discovered recently in the collection of rare books in the Texas State Archives.It provides the most complete and authoritative account available of this historic North American adventure and territorial claim. By careful cross- document analysis; Foster projects an extended expedition chronology that adds about two weeks to the journey; corrects the date that La Salle’s claim was announced; and revises erroneous interpretations made by most contemporary French and American scholars. The work includes maps prepared by the noted Southwest cartographer John V. Cotter

DenisonA stellar explanation of Paul's use of the term "the Israel of God" in concluding Galatians. If the reader is willing to move slowly through the text; looking up Scriptural references; s/he will find that the Dr. Robertson's arguments are unanswerable. For the reader committed to inerrancy but confused about the views proposed to clarify the End Times; here is a text that will make a cogent; defensible interpretation/understanding possible.17 of 19 people found the following review helpful. Covenant theology at its bestBy R. CannataVery; very precise; careful exegesis. His discussion of the theme of the "Land" is the best and clearest I've ever read; and by itself is worth the price of the book.Robertson is among the best and clearest on covenant theology. I've appreciated this book most of all his recent works.
