Henry Eowe Schoolcraft, ethnologist, born in 

 [Watervliet] Albany county, IST. Y., March 28, 

 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 Ark.insas, and 

 returned with a large collection of geological 

 and mineralogical specimens. In 1820 he 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 Wabasli and Miami rivers, was 

 in 1822 appointed Indian agent for the tribes 

 of the lake region, establishing liimself at 

 Sault Sainte Marie, and afterward at Mack- 

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

 granddaughter of Waboojeeg, a noted Ojibway 

 chief, who received her education in 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 

 afiairs, and in 1839 cliief disbursing agent for 

 the northern department. On his return from 

 Europe in 1842 he made a tour through western 

 Virginia, Ohio, and Canada. He was appointed 

 by the Xew York legislature in 1845 a commis- 

 sioner to take the census of the Indians in the 

 state and collect information conceruing the 

 Six Nations. After the performance of this 

 task, Con cress authorized him, on^Iarch 3, 1847, 

 to obtain through the Indian bureau reports

rl^lating to all the Indian tribes of tlie country, 

 and to collate and c^dit the information. In this 

 work he spent tin', remaining years of liis life. 

 Through liis influence many laws were enacted 

 for the protecti(m 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 iiocms, lectures, and reports on 

 Indian subjects, besides thirty-ono larger 

 works. Two of his lectures before the Algic 

 society at Detroit on the ' ' Grammatical Con- 

 struction of the Indian Languages" were trans- 

 lated into French by Peter S. Duponcoau, and 

 gained for their author a gold meilal from the 

 Frencli institute. . . . To the five volumes 

 of Indian researches compiled under the direc- 

 tion of the war department ho added a sixtli, 

 containing the post-Coluujljian history of tlio 

 Indians and of their relations with Euro))e.aus 

 (Philadelphia, 1857). He had collected material 

 for two additional volumes, but the Govern- 

 ment suddenly suspended the publication of 

 the work. — Aj^plcton's Cyclop, of Am. liiog.
