Wikipedia description:
Jean-Baptiste Bénard de la Harpe (4 February 1683 in Saint-Malo, Province of Brittany – 26 September 1765) was a French explorer who is credited with using the name "Little Rock" in 1722 for a stone outcropping on the bank of the Arkansas River used by early travelers as a landmark. Little Rock, Arkansas was subsequently named for the landmark. La Harpe was the first known French explorer to set foot in the future state of Oklahoma.
