Note 509 — Chapter V

Bellin, in Remarques sur la Carte de l’Amérique Septentrionale, Paris, 1755, writes: “In the eastern part of Lake Nepigon there is a river by which one may ascend to the head of Hudson’s Bay. It is said this was discovered by a Canadian named Perray, who was the first to travel this route, and gave his name to the river.”
