It is intended to be a narrative, not a critical, history. The writer has tried to tell about the achievements of the men who traversed the Great Lakes in birch bark canoes, or walked through the passes of the Alleghanies, to reach the Mississippi Valley, and, when there, turned the mighty wilderness into the Garden of the World. Naturally the story begins with the heroic Frenchmen who firstlearned the way to the Great Basin. In the days when the people of Massachusetts were establishing a trading post on the Piscataqua River, New Hampshire, and the Virginians were sending an exploring expedition to learn whether a river flowed into Delaware Bay, Jean Nicolet was making peace with the Indians on the shores of Green Bay, Wisconsin. While the Dutch of New Amsterdam were trading with the Indians at Albany, Grosseilliers and Radisson, paddled up the Ottawa River, although the region was the haunt of the Iroquois), and carried trade goods to the Sioux on the banks of the Mississippi. When the British were taking New York from the Dutch, La Salle was stretching a line of forts from the St. Lawrence River toward the mouth of the Mississippi. CONTENTS. I.
