In 1749, Pierre-Joseph Celron, sieur de Bienville, was sent with 200 to 250 French soldiers and some Indians to renew and strengthen France's claim to the Ohio country and drive out the British. During navigation of the Allegheny, Ohio and Great Miami rivers, he buried lead plates declaring the French land claim. He also sought Indian cooperation in the fur trade.
