_From Rev. L. Abernethy, A. M., D. D., President of

Mississippi and that Captain Glazier is entitled to the honor of
its discovery."

_From J. L. Smith, Map Publisher, Philadelphia:_

"Having given considerable attention to the merits of the claim
presented by Captain Willard Glazier to have definitely located the
source of the Mississippi, I am of the opinion that the lake to the
south of Itasca should be recognized as the primal reservoir or
true fountain-head of that river, and that Captain Glazier is
entitled to the credit of having been the first to discover this
fact and call public attention to it."

_From G. H. Laughlin, A. M., Ph. D., President of Hiram College, Ohio:_

"Captain Glazier has rendered an invaluable service to the science
of geography. I am glad that the school geographies are being
corrected so as to indicate LAKE GLAZIER as the source of the
Father of Waters."
