Missouri was originally included in the limits of Louisiana, purchasedof the French guvernment in 1803. The first Europeans who visited any part of its territory appear to havebeen Marquette and Joliet, theFrench missionaries from Canada,who sailed down the Mississippi in1G73. This river was more fully ex-plored by La Salle, in 1682, who de-clared all the region between the Il-linois country and the Gulf of Mex-ico to be an appendage of this period, settlements beganto be made in the valley of the Mis-sissippi, and the territory was pro-tected from Spanish invasion by achain of fortifications, extending fromthe lakes to the gulf. Among thesewas Fort Orleans, built in 1719, nearthe mouth of the Osage, not far fromthe site of Jefferson City. The settlements in the Mississippivalley were made advancing from itsnorthern and southern extremities into the interior. Missouri being in thecentral part, its progress was slow. Its lead mines were worked as early as1720. St. Genevieve
