... "Until Captain Glazier traced back from Lake Itasca the
perennial stream that supplied it from a more distant lake, called
by the Indians _Pokegama_, and beyond which there is no further
supply to the Father of Waters, Itasca was considered its
source.... July twelfth, 1881, Glazier left Brainerd, Minnesota, on
his mission, reaching Leech Lake July seventeenth. Thence the
expedition proceeded westward by little lakes and streams and
portages, until on the twenty-first they camped on Schoolcraft
Island, in Lake Itasca, and then paddling through this lake away,
as supposed, from the Mississippi, and by Eagle Creek, the next day
they found what is now, and will hereafter be known as, LAKE
GLAZIER, the ultimate source of the mighty Mississippi."...

"A pamphlet, entitled the 'True Source of the Mississippi,' by
Pearce Giles, has reached us. It proves very clearly that not Lake
Itasca but LAKE GLAZIER, a lake just to the south of it, is the
true source of the mighty central river. The best part of the
discovery seems to be that Captain Glazier so explored the country
about this lake that there is no possibility of another discovery
of a connecting lake beyond it. One likes to have such matters
settled definitely."

... "The birthplace of the Father of Waters is not Lake Itasca, as
generally received, but LAKE GLAZIER, in its vicinity, which, by a
small stream, flows into Itasca. LAKE GLAZIER, so named from its
discoverer, Captain Willard Glazier, has three feeders, Eagle,
Excelsior, and Deer creeks. This latest geographical claim is
supported by ample testimony from highest and widespread
authorities. The story of adventures during the exploration which
had so important a result, is extremely interesting."

"On July twenty-second, 1881, Captain Willard Glazier dispelled the
geographical error of half a century which has placed Lake Itasca
on the maps as the source of the Mississippi. Strange as it may
seem, there is
