Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. In the 19th century, heated debate raged over the true source of the Mississippi. This book offers a critical reassessment of Captain Willard Glazier, who in 1881 claimed to have discovered the "real" headwaters of America's largest river, Lake Glazier. The author contends that, far f…rom being a great explorer, Glazier was a publicity-seeking charlatan who deliberately fabricated his discovery. Using contemporary accounts, maps, and other evidence, the author meticulously debunks Glazier's claims and reveals how he misled the public and even prominent scientists. This book provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th-century exploration and the lengths some went to for fame and recognition. In doing so, the author restores the reputation of Jean Nicolas Nicollet, the true discoverer of the Mississippi's source, whose work had been unjustly overshadowed by Glazier's fraudulent claims. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
