Description
Excerpt from Isaac Jogues, S. J., Discoverer of Lake George
The distance, he says, is more than 900 miles over dangerous rivers and great lakes, whose storms are like those of the ocean, especially on one, which is 1200 miles in circumference. The greatest danger, however, is on the rivers. I say ''rivers'' because there are several, and we can only follow the St. Lawrence for 400 miles. After that we have to make our way over other lakes and streams which we reach by skirting rapids and precipices until we finally arrive at the great Lake Huron, which is known as the Fresh Water Sea.''
