"We have seen nothing like this river that we enter as regards its fertility
of soil, its prairies and woods, its cattle, elk, deer, wildcats, bustards, swans, ducks,
parroquets, and even beaver. There are many small lakes and rivers. That on which we
sailed is wide, deep, and still for 65 leagues."
-Father James Marquette June, 1673 St. Mary's of Lourdes History
