I visited the whole of them; and among the latter is one remarkable above the others, inasmuch as its course is longer, and its waters more abundant : so that, in obedience to the geographical rule, " that the sources of a river are those which are most distant from its mouth, " this creek is truly the infant Mississippi; all others helow, its feeders and tributaries. The day on which I explored this princix)al creek (August 29, 1836), I judged that, at its entrance into Itasca Lake, its bed wa...s from fifteen to twenty feet wide, and the depth of water from two to three feet.^ We stemmed its pretty brisk current during ten or twenty minutes; but the obstructions occasioned by the fall of trees compelled us to abandon the canoe, and to seek its springs on foot, along the hills. After a walk of three miles ^ (sic), during which we took care not to lose sight of the Mississippi, my guides informed me that it was better to descend into the trough of the valley; when, accordingly, we found numberless streamlets oozing from the bases of the hills.
