| That mustache dou... |
Rene Robert Cavelier Sieur de La Salle, also called La Salle, was born on November 21, 1643 in Rouen, France. He was a Jesuit student for about nine years of his childhood. Even though little else is known about La Salle's early life, there were many things happening in the 1640’s. There were wars, and its winter was so cold that many suffered starvation or disease.
La Salle soon got permission from the king to explore the New World. After a long voyage, they finally reached their destination they were hoping to find. He then claimed the entire Mississippi River for France, as well as any land where its many streams extended. Even though he claimed the river for his king, he also received credit to this day as the person who first discovered the Great Mississippi. La Salle explored amongst the river from start to finish, then went back to France.
In 1684, he decided to return to North America. Although, there were many issues on the voyage such as attacks from pirates and poor navigation. When they finally reached North America, they were far from their desired destination.
When La Salle was exploring in an area close to Texas, he was killed by one of his own men on March 19, 1687. The other explorers on his journey kept moving on, but were all eventually killed by the Native Americans that lived there.
A sad ending to be sure, but it's certainly interesting to learn more about La Salle's namesake! If you'd like to submit a report on your favorite alpha or deity (Mira and Zios), you can send it to animaljamspirit@gmail.com
Happy jamming!

Maybe Aj named him La Salle to foreshadow his fate in the future... but you never know.
Deleteis this supposed to be about the raccoon? It sounds like human history to me.
ReplyDeleteIt is human history.
DeleteThe raccoon Shaman got it's name "La Salle" from a real French explorer.
~Krazy
It's about what the Raccoon Alpha's name is, and where he got it from.
DeleteIt's a human story. But it's where the raccoon alpha got it's name from.

Delete~ zoehipster
Yeah I saw that, I was all, WHAT IS HAPPENING?!? But yeah, it is pretty cool. I remember going to the Lucky Party and seeing it a lot. They must have fixed the glitch now, because I don't see it anymore.

Le Mustache! XD
ReplyDeleteIt's cool that you did a whole report on La Salle for us to know about him. c:
DeleteI just realized that pic says "That mustache dou..." X3
La Salle is also French for "the room" in general. Guess getting 4 years of french is pretty great!
ReplyDelete2nd! Wow, I have learned this in history in Canada, but wow! I never thought this guy would be the Raccoon Alpha. I feel like reading, time for some Harry Potter!
ReplyDeleteSince when does La Salle look like a racoon? Maybe they should of made him a lion.......

DeleteWow! That sure is interesting info. about La Salle and how AJ made the raccoon Alpha be named after him.
ReplyDelete*I continued my story-it's on this previous post. Thanks if you go read it! ^.^*
this is not aj related i don't want this kind of info i hate ur blog snowy
ReplyDeleteActually, it kind of IS AJ related.
DeleteAlso, Why are there so many Snowyclaw haters? It would be nice to know WHY you people hate snowy and this blog.
every famous person always has a hater because someone just cat let people be happy.
DeleteExactly. Why does every famous AJ player have at least one hater? -.-
DeleteIt is aj related because La Salle is the name of the Raccoon Alpha in animal jam. This information could relate to him
Deletewell famous ppl almost always have a hater coz the hater is jealous prob no offence
Delete~keep calm and love mangoes~
~memango
but aj is a game!! you don't need to have that kind of info. like, who cares? snowyclaw can't make some effort to post a few rares; that's what aj is all about these days... because of Julian2. before julian2 rares were just another item. i feel you, anonymous
DeleteWow, thanks for the info, Snowy! But it's sad, getting killed by your own men... I wonder why he killed La Salle, though... and to think, he died at the age of, like, 44 or something... D:

Oops, forgot to log out from my moms account! ANYWAY!
DeleteComment should have said
Anon, GoldCobra wrote that, so shouldn't you be thanking goldcobra for the info?
lol
DeleteHmm... The raccoon alpha might got the name, it might be his historic hero or he's french... ~Ishacool8~
ReplyDeleteFUN FACT! (That's my name)
ReplyDeleteInteresting fact! (boring, but interesting!) (As you can tell from the name I like Facts so! Yeah!)
FUN FACT! (This time it's a fun fact, not my name!)
Did you know some Jammers made a AJ Mystery Incorporated?!
They were a small group dedicated to solving the mysteries of Jamaa! The group only lasted a little longer then a year, and solved only a few mysteries. But the mysteries they did solve really helped all the other jammers understand more about AJ history!
Sadly,they weren't very well known. All that hard work and studying to help the Jammers of AJ, and not a single thank you.
(I know all that stuff because I was there when one of their members solved the Mt-Shivver Mystery (Mt-Shivver use to be an underwater volcano! And it's now a dormant land volcano...)
I still remember a few of the memers! (there were more, but I forgot)
Ratratrat11, ratratrat12 (now known as HahaMonkey) and Lavicten
Please people, thank them! Without them we wouldn't know a 4'th of the stuff we know about AJ history that we do now! A few of them still play AJ! It's not to late to thank them! (okay, it sort of is, but still!)
FUN FACT:
DeleteSorry, spelled one of the names wrong.
the names of all the members who I remember are.
Ratratrat11
Ratratrat12 (who is now known as Hahamonkey)
and Lavikshan.
There were more members (i know because I saw) but I don't remember them.
lol this guy discovered the state I live in, Louisiana :D
ReplyDeleteAwesome, :3

Please fix this post, it was not native americans it was his own men. The Native Americans was a cover up story. His own men killed him due to his failure. I am currently in 7th grade Texas History. He was not killed by Native Americans. It was another story to get Texans and people alike to hate Indians. Native Americans die in a result of the false story.
ReplyDeleteIt does say that he was killed by his own men
DeleteOMG we were doing some stuff about this guy in school!
ReplyDelete;~; my friend thinks I'm a nerd because I like to study this kind of stuff, and I hope she reads this
(Randomness)
My name is la salle! yay!
ReplyDeleteDeiteis..? O,o
ReplyDeletesigh, the weirdness has prevailed and now everyone thinks that Mira is a god.. =.=
Sorry, i like jamaa lore i just don't like how everyone thinks that Mira and Zios are deities.

I'd like to see a review of Cornelius, the crocodile alpha. I searched his name and it seems to be very interesting
ReplyDeleteLa Salle is also the name of a prestigious university in the Philippines.
