Provenance

Where it came from

Published in 2001 by Chelsea House Publishers under the Tandem Library imprint, this volume is part of the World Explorers series. It was designed to serve as an accessible educational resource for middle-grade students, focusing on the 1673 expedition of Jacques Marquette and Louis Jolliet. The series emerged as a staple for school libraries during the early 2000s, aiming to provide concise, curriculum-aligned narratives about significant figures in North American discovery.

Daniel E. Harmon, a prolific writer of educational materials, crafted this biography to detail the duo’s navigation of the Mississippi River. The narrative design emphasizes the collaboration between the Jesuit missionary Marquette and the fur trader Jolliet, framing their voyage within the context of French colonial ambitions in New France. The book reflects the typical editorial standards of educational publishing from that era, utilizing archival illustrations and maps to support the text for a younger audience.
