Nicholas, on the Mississippi close above the mouth of the Wisconsin river. In 1685 he began to trade more extensively with the Sioux of Iowa and southern Minnesota, for which purpose he built a temporary trading post on the east side of the Mississippi river near Trempealeau, and afterward the post called Fort St. Antoine, which was occupied many years, on the northeastern shore of Lake Pepin about six miles from its mouth. He also had a post on the Minnesota shore of this lake at its outlet, c...alled Fort Perrot; but this was of small importance in comparison with Fort St. Antoine, his most northern post. Farther south than all these trading posts, another was built by Perrot in the vicinity of the present lead mines of Galena and Dubuque, some of which he tested and slightly worked. In 1687, Perrot joined Durantaye and Tonty in leading a second expedition of the Indian warriors of the west against their dreaded eastern enemies, the Iroquois. In 1689, at Fort St. Antoine, Perrot ceremoniously proclaimed his taking pos- session, for the King of France, of all the upper Mississippi region inhabited by the Sioux, thus in a formal declaration adding to New France the greater part of the present state of Minnesota.
