Excerpt from Wonderland 1903: Descriptive of the Country Contiguous to the Northern Pacific Railway
Among La Salle's company was our priest and explorer, none other, indeed, than the well-known Father Louis Hennepin, a Fran ciscam priest of the Recollect order.
A strange combination was the Franciscan, and to this day it is difficult. To gauge and determine the real character of the man. Upon one point all historians agree - he was a man of conspicuous and inordinate vanity and much given to exaggeration, particularly of his own dangers and exploits.
One of La Salle's objects was the exploration of the Mississippi, or River Colbert, as it was then called, after a noted French statesman of that day.
