Jacques Marquette, a French Jesuit missionary and explorer, is best known for his exploration of the Mississippi River in the 1670s. He traveled from Quebec to the Great Lakes, eventually reaching the Mississippi River near present-day Illinois. Along with Louis Jolliet, Marquette journeyed south on the Mississippi, mapping its course and interacting with various Indigenous tribes before reaching the Arkansas River. Their expedition significantly contributed to European knowledge of the region and its waterways.
