ame of the
lake is _Pokegama_, and this, the author says, he would have
retained, but was overruled by the other five, who insisted on
calling it LAKE GLAZIER. For the particulars of the interesting
story the reader must be referred to the volume itself. Captain
Glazier is an old traveler and a practised writer. The manner of
his journey down the Mississippi enabled him to see well all there
was to see, and he enables his readers to see also."

"Readers of 'Soldiers of the Saddle,' 'Capture, Prison-Pen and
Escape,' and other writings of Captain Glazier will require no
urging to read the entertaining volume 'Down the Great River.' It
is an account of the discovery of the true source of the
Mississippi River, with pictorial and descriptive views of cities,
towns and scenery gathered from a canoe voyage from its head waters
to the Gulf. For fifty years American youth have been taught that
'the Mississippi rises in Lake Itasca,' until Captain Glazier, in
this memorable journey of one hundred and seventeen days in his
canoe, demonstrated the error and mapped the facts so accurately as
to settle the question for all time. Leading geographers and
educational publishers have already made changes in their maps and
given due credit to Captain Glazier and his new lake. To say the
Mississippi rises in LAKE GLAZIER is only doing simple justice to
the intrepid explorer and hero of many battles. The book is
charmingly written, mainly in the form of a diary, and contains
facts of great value, so interwoven with incidents and fine
descriptions and novel adventures as to be as interesting as the
best romance. One could scarcely find better history or finer
descriptions or be more fully impressed with the breadth and length
and grandeur of American possessions than by journeying with
Captain Glazier in his canoe down the grand river of the continent.
The volume is handsomely printed and bound and well illustrated."
