Submitted by admin1 on Wed, 05/03/2023 - 09:12

In the weeks leading up to the 350th Expedition Anniversary of the expedition of Marquette and Jolliet in Prairie du Chien on June 16-18, 2023 the Courier Press will be highlighting the history of Marquette and Jolliet and the events that will be taking place over the three day celebration.
Historic overview of the travels of Marquette and Jolliet
With hopes and dreams of mapping a water route to the heartland of North America, two canoes embarked from the Straits of Mackinac on May 17, 1673, and headed south and west. The expedition party numbered seven with leadership by Fur Trader Louis Jolliet and Jesuit Missionary Jacque Marquette. From their combined years of interaction with the indigenous nations of the Great Lakes they had garnered information about the existence of the Mississippi River and ways to get there. Information that was of great importance to the government of New France and their ambitions for advancing their culture and influence.
