History of North America

In May of 1673, French-Canadian explorer, Louis Jolliet (1645-1700), along with French Jesuit missionary Father Marquette(1637-75), departed from Northern Michigan with two canoes and five voyageurs of French-Indian ancestry. They travelled through Lake Huron and Lake Michigan and into Green Bay to explore and map the northern portion of the Mississippi River Valley.
