 1793, died in Washington, D. C, December 10, 

 1864. Was educated at Middlebury college, 

 Vermont, and at Union, where he pursued the 

 studies of chemistry and mineralogy. In 1817-'18 

 he traveled in Missouri and Arkansas, and 

 returned with a large collection of geological 

 and mineralogical specimens. In 1820 be was 

 appointed geologist to Gen. Lewis Cass's explor- 

 ing expedition to Lake Superior and the head- 

 waters of Mississippi River. He was secre- 

 tary of a commission to treat with the Indians 

 at Chicago, and, after a journey through Illi- 

 nois and along Wabash and Miami rivers, was 

 in 1822 appointed Indian agent for the tribes 

 of the lake region, establishing himself at 

 Sault Sainte Marie, and afterward at Mack- 

 inaw, where, in 1823, he married Jane Johnston, 

 granddaughter of Waboojeeg, a noted Ojibway 

 chief, who received hereducationin Europe. In 

 1828 he founded the Michigan historical society 

 and in 1831 the Algic society. From 1828 till 

 1832 he was a member of the territorial legisla- 

 ture of Michigan . In 1832 he led a government 

 expedition, which followed the Mississippi 

 River up to its source in Itasca Lake. In 1836 

 he negotiated a treaty with the Indians on the 

 upper lakes for the cession to the United States 

 of 16,000,000 acres of their lands. He was then 

 appointed acting superintendent of Indian 

 affairs, and in 1839 chief disbursing agent for 

 the northern department. On liis return from 

 Europe in 1842 he made a tour through western 

 Virginia, Ohio, and Canada. Ho was appointed

relating to all the Indian tribes of the country, 

 and to collate and edit the information. In this 

 work he spent the remaining years of his life. 

 Through his influence many laws were enacted 

 for the protection and benefit of the Indians. 

 Numerous scientific societies in the United 

 States and Europe elected him to membership, 

 and the University of Geneva gave him the 

 degree of LL.D. in 1846. He was the author of 

 numerous poems, lectures, and reports on 

 Indian subjects, besides thirty-one larger 

 works. Two of his lectures before the Algio 

 society at Detroit on the "Grammatical Con- 

 struction of the Indian Languages" were trans- 

 lated into French by Peter S. Duponceau, and 

 gained for their author a gold medal from the 

 French institute. . . . To the five volumes 

 of Indian researches compiled under the direc- 

 tion of the war department he added a sixtli, 

 containing the post-Columbian history of the 

 Indians and of their relations with Europeans 

 (Philadelphia, 1857). He had collected material 

 for two additional volumes, but tlm Govern- 

 ment suddenly suspended the publication of 

 the work. — Applelon's Cyclop, of Am. Biog.
