Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Voyage to North-America, Vol. 1 of 2 After reading almost every Thing that has been writ on the Manner in which America might have been peopled, we seem to be just where we were before this great and interesting Question began to be agitated; notwithstanding, it would require a moderate Volume to relate only the various Opinions of the learned on this Subject. For most Part of them have given so much into the marvellous, almost all of them have built their Conjectures on Foundations so ruinous, or have had recourse to certain Resemblances of Names, Manners, Customs, Religion and Languages, so very frivolous, which it would, in my Opinion, be as useless to refute, as it is impossible to reconcile with each other. It is not, perhaps, to be wondered at, that those who have first treated this matter mould wander in a Way which had not as yet been marked out, and in which they must travel without a Guide.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Voyage to North-America, Vol. 2 I Departed the 27th from the Entrance of the Lake Erie, after I had closed my last Letter, and though it was very late, I went three Leagues that Day by the Favour of a good Wind, and of the finest Weather in the World: The Route is to keep to the North Coast, and it is a hundred Leagues. From Niagara, taking to the South, it is much more pleasant, but longer by half. Lake Erie is a hundred Leagues long from East to West: Its Breadth from North to South is thirty, or thereabouts. The Name it bears is that of a Nation of the Huron Language settled on its Border, and which the Iroquois have entirely destroyed.

By 1718, however, posts had been built on Lake Superior and at the foot of Green Bay, and from these vantage points it was proposed to make fur ther attempts to solve the mystery of the West and to open a way to the westward sea.

True, the Mississippi Bubble, as it was called after it burst, was located in Louisiana at the mouth of the mighty stream. Nevertheless the entire val ley was expected to contribute to its glory and the limits of the valley were yet to be defined. The regent deter mined to send out a secret mission to ascertain the pros pects of western exploration by way of the upper Great Lakes and the upper reaches Of the great river.
