Joliet and Marquette brought back detailed maps, drawings, and journals documenting their exploration of the Mississippi River in the 17th century. Their journey helped to expand knowledge of the geography of North America at that time.
After Champlain died Joliet with his father Jaques Marquette and five other companions in 1673 set out by the orders of Comte de Frontenac, the Canadian Governor to trace the Mississippi River. They started from Saint Ignac on the Straits of Mackinac on May 17. Traveling in Birchbark canoes, they crossed Lake Michigan to Green Bay and southwest on the Fox River. Then they went down the Wisconsin River and followed the Mississippi's winding course southward, they never went to the Gulf of Mexico because they were scared of the Spaniards. They learned that the Mississippi River flowed into the Gulf of Mexico instead of the Pacific Ocean. The party paddled more than 2500 miles. Joliet lost his maps and papers, when his canoe fell into the Saint Lawrence River, but he made several maps from memory. As a reward for his work Joliet received the island of Anticosti in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. In 1697 he received Joliet, a town south of Quebec.
That's great to hear! Have a safe and pleasant journey to your destination.
Migration can lead to increased remittances sent back to the country of origin, which can contribute to economic development. It can also alleviate pressure on the job market and social services in the country of origin. Additionally, migrants who return to their home country often bring back new skills, experiences, and knowledge that can benefit their communities.
Columbus went to the American continents in 1492 in search of a new trade route to Asia and to bring back riches like gold and spices. He believed he had reached Asia when he landed in the Caribbean, not realizing he had discovered the Americas.
The driving distance is 680 miles. Since there is sometimes more than one route, including back roads, this is an approximate but accurate distance. It is based on the most well-known routes between these two locations.
Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet mainly sailed down the Missipi River, starting in Lake Michigan and continuing until they reached Arkansas. On their trip back to Canada, they sailed the Illinois River.
The French wanted them to explore America and figure out where the Mississippi River ended. I am 11 years old and i am doing a history project on them and so that is where i got my information... :)
