Note 120 — Evans’s Pedestrious Tour of Four Thousand Miles—1818 (continued 3)

Evans probably refers here to the fall five miles from the mouth of Fox River, at De Pere (French, Rapides des pères), so called because it was the site of a Jesuit Indian mission established in 1669–70. See Wisconsin Historical Collections, xvi. Our author in his description omits mention of the Lower Fox, flowing from Lake Winnebago into Green Bay.—Ed.
