Marquette and Joliet followed the Mississippi river south to the Arkansas river. Marquette and Joliet made their exploration trip in 1673.
In 1673, Joliet was a well known French-Canadian explorer. Governor General Comte de Frontenac of New France believed the Mississippi might provide an easy route to the Far East for traders. He sent Joliet to find the river and trace its course. Marquette knew some Indian languages, so he was chosen to go with Joliet.
Marquette and Joliet were from France I think. They then moved to Canada and lived in Quebec... Marquette or Joliet (forgot which one) was a priest or something like that. Joliet or Marquette was an explorer. They meet each other and then became traders. They traded glass beads for fur from the Indians. That is pretty much all I know about them.
they were famous explorers
Marquette explored for a governer and he went with Louis Joliet.
Joliet thought Marquette lacked tact and cleanliness. In the canoe, he often sat as far away from Marquette, as possible. He had hopes that one day a mall would be named after him, because Joiet felt he had way more fashion sense than Marquette. Low and behold, there is a Louis Joliet Mall in Joliet, Illinois, today!!
