Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Vision book for youth 9 - 15 years old tells the thrilling story of one of America's greatest missionaries who came down from Canada with explorer Louis Joliet to explore the mighty Mississippi River, the "great river" bordered by Indian tribes who killed white men on sight. Of the few who had dared explore this immense waterway, none had lived to return and report where it emptied. If he could travel to the mouth of the "great river," Fr. Marquette hoped to obtain new lands for France and new souls for Jesus Christ. He braved the dangers of tomahawks and tortures to bring the Word of God to the Indians of the New World. Rapids, floods, Indian superstitions, tribal warfare - these are only a few of the obstacles Father Marquette and Louis Joliet encountered in trying to meet their challenge. Illustrated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often viewed in isolation, the Jolliet and Marquette expedition in fact took place against a sprawling backdrop that encompassed everything from ancient Native American cities to French colonial machinations. Mark Walczynski draws on a wealth of original research to place the explorers and their journey within seventeenth-century North America. His account takes readers among the region’s diverse Native American peoples and into a vanished natural world of treacherous waterways and native flora and fauna. Walczynski also charts the little-known exploits of the French-Canadian officials, explorers, traders, soldiers, and missionaries who created the political and religious environment that formed Jolliet and Marquette and shaped European colonization of the heartland. A multifaceted voyage into the past, Jolliet and Marquette expands and updates the oft-told story of a pivotal event in American history.

Download or read book Joliet and Marquette in Iowa Classic Reprint written by Lafnas Gifford Weld and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-18 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Joliet and Marquette in Iowa The first recorded interview between the white man and the Indian, within the limits of the present State of Iowa, was incident to the landing of Joliet and Marquette upon the west bank of the Mississippi on the 25th of June, 1673. The exact locality in which this interview was held has always been a matter of doubt. That the subject is one of some interest is shown by the fact that a number of points have been named as probable sites of the landing of the two explorers upon the occasion in question. Among these may be mentioned Montrose, Sandusky, and the mouth of Lemoiliese Greek or Bloody Run - all in Lee County. Writers have generally agreed upon placing the landing near the mouth of the Des Moines river, but both Shea and Parkman favor some stream further north. It was certainly near to some western tributary of considerable size. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Joliet written by David A. Belden and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1673, Louis Jolliet and Fr. Jacques Marquette were the first Europeans to explore the Mississippi and the Illinois River valleys. Their explorations took them through what is now Joliet. Founded in 1834 as Juliet, the settlement's future was shaped by several important developments. The Des Plaines River provided an early waterway, and its power gave rise to mills and manufacturing. Native limestone rock beds helped build a 19th-century city, while Joliet quarries employed thousands of men. From the opening of the Illinois and Michigan Canal in 1848, to the building of the Illinois Central and Rock Island Railroads in the 1850s, to the intersecting of the Lincoln Highway and Route 66 in the 20th century, Joliet became an important hub between rural towns in Will and Grundy Counties and Chicago. Over 200 vintage postcards of Joliet reveal a unique city with a sense of community pride.
