About Pierre Gaultier de La Vérendrye

Pierre Gaultier de La Vérendrye de Boumois was a military officer, explorer, and fur trader in New France. The son of Pierre Gaultier de Varennes, sieur de La Vérendrye, he took part in his family's efforts to extend French influence across the northern plains and the Lake Winnipeg basin. Trained as a cadet in the colonial regular troops, La Vérendrye held commands at western posts such as Fort St. Charles and Fort La Reine, and in 1741 led an expedition that reached Spanish outposts on the central plains. He later served in the colonial military during the early years of the Seven Years' War and died in Montreal shortly after the fall of Fort Beauséjour in 1755.
