| Description |
English: Father Hennepin was a Franciscan Recollect who accompanied French explorer René-Robert Cavalier, Sieur de La Salle to New France (Canada) in 1675. Hennepin worked as a missionary and became the first European to describe Niagara Falls. (See also No. 30.) This map came from the first English translation of his book Desciption de la Louisiane... (Paris, 1683) and is loosely based upon Hennepin's map there. |
