Louis Hennepin, c. 1640-c. 1706, Franciscan (Recollect) missionary and explorer, was born in Belgium and died in Holland. He went to Canada
as a missionary in 1675. He accompanied La Salle to the Illinois in 1679-80, and was detached to ascend the Mississippi from
Fort Crevecœur, during which expedition he was captured by the Sioux and rescued after some months by Du Lhut. He returned
to France in 1681. This work contains an account of his trip to the Sioux, with a section on Indian customs, and is one of
the earliest printed accounts of Louisiana.
