Eastman and his wife, Elaine Goodale Eastman, right, left the Lakota reservation in South Dakota and relocated to St. Paul in 1893, they chose a place where Charles had deep ancestral roots as can be seen in this excerpt from Joseph Nicollet’s 1843 map of the Hydrographic Basin of the Upper Mississippi. Nicollet labelled the area where the Mississippi River meets the Minnesota River MDEWAKANTON COUNTRY. It is also known to Dakota as Bdote, the place “where two waters come together.” Barely discernible on the map are the locations of Fort Snelling, St. Anthony Falls, the lakes of Minneapolis, and Carver’s Cave, sites that today are in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

    REVIEWS OF BOOKS Building the Canadian West: The Land and Colonization Policies of the Canadian Pacific Railway. By JAMES B. HEDGES, profes­ sor of American history. Brown University. (New York, The Macmillan Company, 1939. vii, 422 p. Maps. $4.00.) Professor James B. Hedges has made frequent excursions into the land and colonization activities of railroads in Minnesota and the American Northwest. These have matchlessly prepared him to describe similar work of the Canadian Pacific Railway in Building the Cana­ dian West. His familiarity with American railroad settlement serves him doubly in this volume, for he assumes the larger task of sketching Canadian Pacific projects against the background of American frontier experience. In Professor Hedges' view, railroad colonization pro­ grams north and south of the border were halves of a single great population movement. To both parts of this movement, Minnesota, by reason of geographic location, made essential contributions. From the Dominion government in 1881 the Canadian Pacific re­ ceived a far-flung demesne traversing the " Canadian West" — Mani­ toba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. There, through policies that were experimental, opportunistic, or visionary, the railroad founded and sustained a frontier civilization. Through its varying fortunes. Pro­ fessor Hedges, attentive to both detail and sweep, recounts the Cana­ dian Pacific's contributions to the quickening of Canadian life. To his larger assignment of integrating the American and Canadian immigration movements, the author applies himself assiduously. In almost every chapter he depicts similarities in the practices of Ameri­ can railroads and the Canadian Pacific. But the projects of the latter were no slavish aping of American precedent; Dr.

  • Joseph Nicolas Nicollet Et La Cartographie Du Haut-Bassin Du Mississippi
    Joseph Nicolas Nicollet et la cartographie du haut-bassin du Mississippi. Patricia Mougel, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. Né à Cluses, Savoie en 1786 et mort à Washington, DC en 1843, Joseph Nicolas Nicollet est intiment lié à la cartographie de notre région. A ne pas confondre avec Jean Nicollet arrivé en 1634 à la Baye Verte ou des Puants (Wisconsin), Joseph Nicollet, sans lien de parenté avec le premier, devient professeur de mathématiques au jeune âge de dix-neuf ans. Il est nommé astronome assistant à l’Observatoire Royal de Paris en 1817. Joseph Nicollet travaille non seulement dans le domaine de la cartographie mais aussi dans celui des sciences de la Terre. On lui doit la découverte en 1821 de la comète qui porte son nom, "annonciatrice" du déçès de Napoléon Bonaparte le 5 mai 1821. A l’époque tourmentée (au niveau politique et scientifique) de la Révolution de 1830 et à la suite de difficultés financières Joseph Nicollet quitte la France en 1832 pour venir s’installer à la Nouvelle Orléans dans un premier temps. Grâce au soutien financier de la riche famille Chouteau de St Louis Joseph Nicollet s’engage en 1836-1837 dans une expédition pour découvrir la source du Mississippi. Dans cette expédition Nicollet explore le haut-bassin du Mississippi jusqu’à sa source au Lac Itasca. En 1837 trois états: la Louisiane, l’Arkansas et le Missouri ont déjà été formés au sein de l’ancienne Louisiane Francophone achetée par les Etats-Unis à la France en 1803 (Louisiana Purchase). Le Congrès américain veut obtenir davantage d’information sur cette région où l’on vient de plus en plus s’installer.
