Halaman 146 - They meet him; they escort him, and carry all his baggage. He wore a grand robe of China damask, all strewn with flowers and birds of many colors. No sooner did they perceive him than the women and children fled, at the sight of a man who carried thunder in both hands, — for thus they called the two pistols that he held. The news of his coming quickly spread to the places round about, and there assembled four or five thousand men. Each of the chief men made a feast for him, and at one of these...
Halaman 172 - I took pleasure in observing the situation of this village. It is beautiful and very pleasing; For, from an Eminence upon which it is placed, one beholds on every side prairies, extending farther than the eye can see, interspersed with groves or with lofty trees. The soil is very fertile, and yields much indian corn. The savages gather quantities of plums and grapes, wherewith much wine could be made, if desired.
Halaman 83 - Wisconsin, and all articles and materials which may establish or Illustrate such history or the growth and progress of population, wealth, education, arts, science, agriculture, manufactures, trade, and commerce in said county or in other portions of this State or adjoining states.
Halaman 185 - Indians who had frequented those parts, and even from their accounts traced a map of all the new country, marking down the rivers on which we were to sail, the names of the nations and places through which we were to pass, the course of the great river, and what direction we should take when we got to it.
Halaman 147 - Four-Legs' village,* at the entrance to Winnebago Lake, a picturesque cluster of Indian huts, spread around on a pretty green glade, and shaded by fine lofty trees. We were now fairly in the Winnebago country, and I soon learned that the odd-sounding name of the place was derived from the principal chief of the nation, whose residence it was. The inhabitants were absent, having, in all probability, departed to their wintering grounds. We here took leave of our...
Halaman 182 - It was impossible to construct it without having seen the principal objects delineated ;" he also calls attention to the fact that as it was published in Paris in 1681, it could only have been the work of one of the two explorers, Jolliet or Marquette, or at least inspired by their accounts.8 To each of these, however, an authentic map has already been ascribed, differing so entirely from the one we are considering, that it is not conceivable that this could have been a copy of either. What possibility...
Halaman 189 - This river flows from the lands of the East, where dwell the people called Chaouanons in so great numbers that in one district there are as many as 23 villages, and 15 in another, quite near one another.
Halaman 251 - Fort (a scrap-book in the Wisconsin Historical Library), pp. 9, 19. obliged to forego all other viands and subsist upon the only one he was able to order.17 Featherstonhaugh, in his reconnoissance of 1835, mentions Trempealeau Mountain, and while narrating the geological history of the landmark, describes the view from its summit. Wabasha's brother related to him that "the Indians called it Minnay Chonkahah, or Bluff in the water, and that they resorted to it at the beginning of the wild-geese season,...
Halaman 146 - While in the exercise of this office, he was delegated to make a journey to the nation called People of the sea, and arrange peace between them and the Hurons, from whom they are distant about three hundred leagues Westward. He embarked in the Huron country, with seven Savages; and they passed by many small nations, both going and returning. When they arrived at their destination, they fastened two sticks in the earth, and hung gifts thereon, so as to relieve these tribes from the notion of mistaking...
