Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Heroes and Heroines With the first day of summer, when the rose vines were hanging pink and crimson clusters of fragrant bloom along the Old, gray and war-scarred walls of Laon, there came a little, new life into the household of Nicolas Marquette, one of the wealth iest and most powerful gentlemen of the old for tress town. This little life was destined to become a power in the world, for the new-born child in the Chateau Marquette, that first day of June in the year of our Lord 1637, was James Marquette, who grew up to be the famous mission priest to the American Indians, and the discoverer of the great Mississippi River.
