EDITORS COMMENTS
This map print, dating back to 1673, illustrates the exploratory journey of Jacques Marquette, a renowned French missionary and explorer. The map marks the route Marquette took as he traveled up the Mississippi River towards New France, with a small dotted line tracing his path. Marquette's mission was to spread the Catholic faith among the indigenous peoples of North America and establish colonial outposts for the French. As Marquette ventured further north, he discovered the passage from Lake Michigan to Green Bay, which is denoted by a dashed line on the map. This significant discovery allowed Marquette and his companions to access the rich natural resources of the region, including the copper mines at the Portage. The map provides a fascinating glimpse into the early colonial history of North America, showcasing the exploratory spirit and determination of Jacques Marquette and his fellow French missionaries. The map's intricate details and meticulous annotations reflect the advanced cartographic knowledge of the time, making it an essential historical document. This map is a testament to the rich cultural exchange that took place between European explorers and the indigenous peoples of North America during the colonial era. It serves as a reminder of the profound impact that exploration and discovery had on the world during this period, shaping the course of history and expanding our understanding of the globe.
