=Superior, Lake.= Area 31,800 square miles. Discovered by Etienne Brule,
in 1622. In the next quarter century the devoted Jesuit Fathers
penetrated to the shores of the lake. Jogues and Raymbault preached the
Faith at the outlet of the lake in 1641; Menard attempted a mission on
the south shore in 1661; and a few years later Allouez explored most of
the same side. Radisson and Chouart penetrated to the western end of the
lake and beyond in 1661; and Du Lhut covered much the same ground in
1678-1681. From that time, the shores of the lake became familiar ground
to missionaries, explorers, and fur traders. =Bib.=: Kohl, _Wanderings
