Jacques Marquette and Louis Jolliet: Explorers of the Mississippi

Bill Scheppler

In 1673, French-born missionary Jacques Marquette and Canadian-born fur trader Louis Jolliet set out on a dangerous yet exciting voyage in search of the famed Northwest Passage, and a shorter trade route to Japan and China. In breathtaking detail, this narrative describes their brave journey–vividly portraying encounters with American Indians, hair-raising antics with never-before-seen wildlife, and the trials and tribulations of roughing it in the wild. Quotes from primary source materials add an air of immediacy to this saga.
