Description:Excerpt from The Province and the States, Vol. 5 of 7: A History of the Province of Louisiana Under France and Spain, and of the Territories and States of the United States Formed Therefrom In the spring of 1673 James Marquette, a priest, and Louis Joliet, a fur trader, with two canoes and five voyagceurs, left St. Ignace, on the straits of Mackinaw, to explore the country lying west of the Great Lakes. On the 17th of June they reached the mouth of the Wisconsin, and on the opposite side of the great Father of Waters saw the bluffs of Iowa, not far from the present site of the city of McGregor. For a week they drifted down the Mississippi without seeing signs of a human being. Then footprints were discovered upon the western bank by one of the party. The trail was followed for about six miles, when the two leaders came to an Indian village upan the bank of a river, called by the natives the Mo-in-go-na. This name suggested to Marquette that of Des Moines (The river of the Monks), which he gave to both the river and the Indian tribe dwelling on its banks. These, so far as known to history, were the first white men to set foot upon the soil of what is now the State of Iowa. They were hospitably received by the Indians; a fat dog was killed and a feast was made in honor of the visitors, who remained a week at the village, when they returned to the Mississippi and took up their voyage down its current.
