Book Description
Excerpt from Father Marquette Father Jacques Marquette, of the Society of Jesus, arrived in Canada, from France, in 1666, when the Jesuit missions of New France were approaching their full tide of success, but had only recently entered upon the vast, ill-defined region beyond Lake Huron. Although but twenty-nine years of age, he had already won some notice as a lecturer in the Jesuit schools of his native land. Reared to luxury in what was perhaps the principal family in the cathedral city of Laon, in his seventeenth year he put behind him the traditions of his ancient house, which marked its sons for statesmanship and for war, and surrendered himself to the service of the Cross. In response to his yearning for a missionary career, he was in due time sent by his superior to join the devoted band then engaged in taming the savages of the American wilderness.

Book Description
Excerpt from Father Marquette: Jesuit Missionary and Explorer, the Discover of the Mississippi, His Place of Burial at St. Ignace Michigan In the annals of American chivalry no deeds of prowess and self-sacrifice are more heroic than those of the gentle Marquette. Fitted by nature for great enterprises, he was unselfish enough to be content with obscure and with somewhat commonplace tasks, performing even these with such fidelity and devotion as to merit distinction. Many missionaries labored for the Ottawas, but he alone deserved the title of "their Angel." Never neglecting the work in hand, his zeal made him constantly dream of opening up new fields for the evangelical harvest, and but few dreamers have had either his opportunity or courage to make their dream, a reality.

Book Description
Excerpt from Blackrobe Father Marquette, standing on the white beach at the very tip of Point St. Ignace, looked up from the paper on which he had been jotting some newly learned Winnebago words, and gazed westward across the waters. For a mo ment the glare of the setting sun blinded him, but shad ing his eyes with his hand he beheld in the distance the dark outline of a single canoe carrying a lone paddler bobbing up and down on the choppy waves of Lake Michigan.

Book Description
Excerpt from Joliet and Marquette in Iowa The first recorded interview between the white man and the Indian, within the limits of the present State of Iowa, was incident to the landing of Joliet and Marquette upon the west bank of the Mississippi on the 25th of June, 1673. The exact locality in which this interview was held has always been a matter of doubt. That the subject is one of some interest is shown by the fact that a number of points have been named as probable sites of the landing of the two explorers upon the occasion in question. Among these may be mentioned Montrose, Sandusky, and the mouth of Lemoiliese Greek or Bloody Run - all in Lee County. Writers have generally agreed upon placing the landing near the mouth of the Des Moines river, but both Shea and Parkman favor some stream further north. It was certainly near to some western tributary of considerable size. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Telegraph-Herald's Abridged History of the State of Iowa: From the Time of Its Discovery A. D., 1673 by Father Marquette, to 1905 When, as now, shelves groan under the weight of massive volumes of history necessity seems to emphasize more strongly than ever the virtue that lies in brevity. In preparing this history the author has sought to be brief, eliminating so much of the events of the past as in his judgment is not necessary to an understanding of the peoples who have preceded us or the stirring dramas in which we find them the principal figures. He has sought to follow in the simplest language and the fewest possible words the thread of history where first it takes on tangible form, through the loom of the years and into the completed fabric of the present. There has been retained enough of the romance of events to impart enchantment to the story, for without sentiment history is incomplete and a virtue of man forgotten. The prosaic land of Iowa has been the scene of much that is romantic. The wanderings of Jacques Marquette through the enchanted valley of the Mississippi, the nomadic life of the border tribes of Indians, the bloody battles between the hostile tribes and the awful massacres that drenched the soil with red, the transformation of the trackless forests and plains into rich-bearing farm lands, make of history a veritable fairy story entertaining and instructive none the less to children than to those older in years and wisdom. The territorial development, the creation of Iowa as a State, offers little that is romantic; the author has fashioned a framework out of the successive events that if it shall be accepted as concise and faithful will serve the end designed. If the author shall have produced in these pages even a little of the spirit of discovery, of eternal struggle, of unflagging industry, of the ideals and the ambitions which have made Iowa, his attempt will not have been in vain.
