Note 122 — Evans’s Pedestrious Tour of Four Thousand Miles—1818 (continued 3)

There were two villages of Winnebago (French Puans) on the lake of that name: the principal one was situated on Doty’s Island, at the mouth of the lake; the other at the junction of the Upper Fox and the lake, near the waterworks station of the modern Oshkosh. This latter was familiarly known to the French voyageurs as Saukière. The village on the Menominee (Malhominis) River was, as Evans says, a mixed one, composed principally of the tribe which gave name to the river. For these two tribes, see Long’s Voyages, volume ii of our series, notes 81, 86. For the Potawatomi, see Croghan’s Journals, volume i of our series, note 84.—Ed.
