Excerpt from Report of a Geological Reconnaissance Made in 1835: From the Seat of Government, by the Way of Green Bay and the Wisconsin Territory, to the Coteau De Prairie, an Elevated Ridge Dividing the Missouri From the St. Peter's River
Sm: In obedience to your instructions, dated July 7, 1835, directing me to proceed to the vicinity of that elevated ridge which separates the Missouri river_from the St. Peter's, the chief northwestern tributary of the Mississippi, hitherto des ignated on the maps by the appellation of Coteau de Prairie, and indicating Green Bay as a point on my route from whence an opportunity would be afforded of examining the mineral structure of the country on the Wisconsin river,i left this city on the 8th of the same month, and have now the honor to transmit a report of my proceedings.
Before, however, I enter upon that part of my report imme diately connected with my instructions, I desire to explain why I have been induced to extend this document, and lend to it a character perhaps not generally expected of it.
