Sources of the Mississippi River, in 1820...

Henry Rowe Schoolcraft was an ethnologist who contributed significantly to the study of Native American populations. In 1820, he was a member of the Cass and Doty expedition to explore the Upper Great Lakes and to search for the source of the Mississippi River. Although he mistakenly attributed Cass Lake as the river's source, his work continues to be a valuable resource.
