1793 expedition

The 1793 expedition, primarily led by General Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, Comte de Rochambeau, was a French military initiative aimed at exploring and mapping North America's interior, particularly the Ohio and Mississippi River regions. This expedition sought to strengthen French claims against British influence after the American Revolutionary War. Alongside scientific research, the team engaged with Native American tribes, gathering valuable insights about the land and its inhabitants. The mission contributed to understanding of North American geography and fostered relationships between France and various indigenous nations.
