The publisher, Vander Aa, published the present edition in parts and also issued them separately. Marquette first arrived in Quebec in September 1666 and later founded the mission of St. Ignace on the Straits of Mackinac, the first settlement in Michigan. In 1673, he joined Louis Jolliet's expedition in search of an overland route to the Mississippi River, during which they became the first Europeans to explore the Upper Mississippi, travelling as far south as the mouth of the Arkansas River. On their return, they travelled back to the mouth of the Illinois River and reached Lake Michigan near the site of present-day Chicago by way of the Chicago Portage.
