Summary
edit.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Born about 1627, at Ath, Belgium, Hennepin entered a Recollect friary in his youth. An adventurous missionary, he visited many European countries and served as an army chaplain before sailing to New France in 1675. In 1679, Hennepin, as Chaplain of Lasalle’s Mississippi expedition, made the journey in which he gathered the information for his “Description de la Louisiane”. In it can be found some of the misrepresentations that mar some of Hennepin’s work. Nevertheless, the book, published after his return to Europe in 1682, enjoyed widespread popularity. It contains valuable information on the geography and events of its period, and the first recorded description of Niagara Falls.
