Heilry Rowe Schoolcraft was born in Watervliet, N. Y., March 29, 1793. His 
first American ancestor settled in Albany County, in the reign of Georgell, and 
taught school. The change of his name, which was originally Calcraft, is, uo 
doubt, attributable to this latter fact. He entered Union College in 1807, made 
his first expedition to the Missi.ssipiii Kiver in 1817, and several others after- 
wards. In 1822 he was appointed agent for Indian afltairs on the northwestern 
frontier, where he married a granddaughter of Wabojeeg, an Indian war chief, 
and resided in that country until 1341. About 1830, while a member of the ter- 
ritorial legislature of Michigan, he introduced the system, w'hich was, to some 
extent, adopted, of forming local names from the Indian language. In 1847 
Congress directed him to procure statistics and other information respecting the 
history, condition, and prospects of the Indian tribes of the U. S. 
He resided many years among the Indians and zealously improved his oppor- 
tunities for studying their habits, cu.stoms, and languages. 
Mr. Schoolcraft was a member of numerous scientific and historical societies, 
and iu 1846 received the degree of LL.D. from Geneva College. Ho died ic 
Washington, D. C, Dec. 10, 18G4, aged 71 years.
