Years: 1745 - 1745
La Verendrye, a financial failure despite the establishment of numerous trading posts on the buffalo plains, had resigned in 1744, leaving his sons and nephews to carry on the western commerce.
During his years of activity, La Veredrye has won new Amerind nations to French allegiance and lured their trade away from the Hudson’s Bay Company and toward Montreal.
The new French minister of the marine, Antoine Louis Rouille, has him decorated with the cross of the order of Saint Louis in 1745; La Verendrye dies in December of the same year.
