LaSalle, the French explorer, had claimed a huge land area from the Appalachian Mountains in the east to the Rocky Mountains in the west, and from the Great Lakes in the north to the Gulf of Mexico in the south. He called this area New France. The whole Ohio River Valley was not part of LaSalle's claim, but gradually the French moved into all of the Ohio River Valley. They were mostly fur trappers by trade.
