by Mel Leavitt(né Mahlon Tirre Leavitt) a local historian and broadcast journalist that served the New Orleans, Louisiana, market from 1949 until near the time of his death in 1997 at age 70. His 35-year broadcast career was primarily at WDSU-TV, a New Orleans television station.
The seventeenth-century expedition of La Salle was a series of explorations of the Mississippi River, starting from the Illinois River tributary to the Gulf of Mexico, that were conducted by René Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, 1679–1682, claiming the entire Mississippi watershed in the name of France.
In 1718, the French found New Orleans and marked \"Cannes Brulee\" on maps upriver in the area known today as the City of Kenner. French for \"Burnt Canes,\" Cannes Brulee was a name given by explorers who observed natives burning cane to drive out wild game.
