\ SOURCE OF NAME ITASCA i
X + X X X X X + fktk Xxx X K \

The word "Itasca' was coined in
1882. Henry R. Schoolcraft, for whom
the Schoolcraft river is named, was
mineralogist in the expedition of
1920 which named Cass Lake as the
true source of the Mississippi. He
did not believe, however, that it was
the true source and in 1882 was CIV
en- leave by the war department to
visit the Indians in this part of the
country.
Leaving Sault Sainte Marie, where
he was agent of the Chippeways, he
went via Lake Superior to Fon du
Lac, small trading post now a few
miles up the st. Louis river from Du-
luth. He assembled the st. Louis river
to the Savannah portage to Sand lake
where was then the most important
trading post of the Chippeways. The
party reached Cass Lake July 10 and
Bemidji a day later. It assembled the
Mississippi and at 2 p. m. on July 10
came out on Lake Itasca.
A missionary named Boutwell, had
accompanied the expedition. School
craft asked him for the Latin of true
source" Boutwell, could only remem-
Der that the Latin for truth was
tsveritas'' and for head .caput" so he
obligingly wrote the two words On a
slip of paper. Schooleraft cut Off the
head of the former and tail of the
latter. and coined the word sitasca".
It is as beautiful an Indian name as
could be desired. ~.
Lieutenant Allen, who accompan-
led Schoolcraft, in his report men
toned the lake as LAC la Biche," the
name given it on Beltrami's map. On
his way home, Schoo1eraft made one
Of the quickest canoe trips to st.
Louis ON record. He left Itasca July
IL and going by way of Leech Lake,
and an unused canoe route through
the Crow Wing, was at Fort Smelling
