Note 1 — Group I. THREE RIVAL CIVILIZATIONS. (continued 2)
Reading edition
Father Louis Hennepin, a Récollet, or Franciscan friar, published his Description of Louisiana, 1683, with subsequent editions, under various titles, 1697, 1698, etc. While his exaggerations make it difficult to separate what is true from what is false, yet his writings are an indispensable part of the History of the Great West.
