Louis Jolliet was a French-Canadian explorer best known for his 1673 expedition with Father Jacques Marquette to explore the Mississippi River. They traveled from Quebec to the river's confluence with the Illinois River, mapping the region and gathering information about the Native American tribes they encountered. Jolliet's journey contributed significantly to European knowledge of North America's interior and the potential for trade and settlement. His explorations helped lay the groundwork for future French claims in the Mississippi Valley.
