Download or read book Joseph Nicollet and His Map written by Martha Coleman Bray and published by American Philosophical Society Press. This book was released on 1980 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biography of Joseph Nicollet, the brave & tireless explorer in 1838 & 1839 of the great northwestern triangle between the Missouri & the upper Mississippi rivers. Author Martha Coleman Bray has founded her very readable story on Nicollet's journals, survey documents, correspondence, & published writings. Trained as an astronomer in Paris, Nicollet came to America after the revolution of 1830. His early travels took him to the South & to the sources of the Mississippi River. He won the confidence of the leaders of the newly-founded Corps of Topographical Engineers (precursor of the U.S. Geological Survey) & with John Charles Fremont as his assistant, he led the first of two expeditions to the Northwest. The superb "Map of the Hydrographic Basin of the Upper Mississippi River," which resulted from these expeditions, was basic to the further exploration of the West & is our only source of Indian names of landscape features of the region. The "Report" which accompanied the map reveals Nicollet's breadth of knowledge which brought him into the liveliest scientific circles of the U.S. He died in Washington in 1843. 300 illlus. & a fold-out map.

Book Synopsis Indian Wars and Pioneers of Texas by : John Henry Brown
Download or read book Indian Wars and Pioneers of Texas written by John Henry Brown and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 1988 with total page 812 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book leads the reader through the past to the present and here leaves him amid active and progressive men who are advancing, along with him, toward the future. Including, as it does, lives of men now living, it constitutes a connecting link between what has gone before and what is to come after. It is therefore fitting that it should be dedicated to a prominent man of our day in preference to one of former times. The matter presented, in the nature of things, is largely biographical. There can be no foundation for history without biography. History is a generalization of particulars. It presents wide extended views. To use a paradox, history gives us but a part of history. That other part which it does not give us, the part which introduces us to the thoughts, aspirations and daily life of a people, is supplied by biography. The men whose deeds are recorded in this book were or are deeply identified with Texas, and the preservation in this volume in enduring form of some remembrance of them—their names, who and what they were—has been a pleasant task to one who feels a deep interest and pride in Texas—its past history, its heroes and future destiny.

Book Synopsis The Indian Tribes of the Upper Mississippi Valley and Region of the Great Lakes by : Emma Helen Blair
Download or read book The Indian Tribes of the Upper Mississippi Valley and Region of the Great Lakes written by Emma Helen Blair and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1996-06-01 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: France held dominion over much of North America when Nicolas Perrot, a Jesuit, entered the fur trade among the Ottawa Indians in 1665. He became well acquainted with the Algonquian tribes of the upper Mississippi valley and Great Lakes region. Perrot’s Memoir on the Manners, Customs, and Religion of the Savages of North America, written in French from about 1680 to 1718, is an invaluable record of early aboriginal life. First published in 1864, it can be found in The Indian Tribes of the Upper Mississippi Valley and the Region of the Great Lakes. Also included is the History of the Savage Peoples Who Are Allies of New France by Claude Charles Le Roy, Sieur de Bacqueville de la Potherie. First published in 1716, it portrays the Indian tribes west of Lake Huron and contains much first-hand information about their customs, history, and relations with each other and the French. Finally, documents by Major Morrell Marston and Thomas Forsyth, commander and agent, respectively, at Fort Armstrong in present-day Illinois, provide richly detailed accounts on the Sauk and Fox tribes in the 1820s. This Bison Books edition is the first in more than eighty years to make widely available The Indian Tribes of the Upper Mississippi Valley and Region of the Great Lakes, which was originally published in two volumes in 1812. It retains the text and feature of the original two volumes. Emma Helen Blair, a respected scholar, died in 1911, before her monumental work was released.
