Moreover he was a trusted lieu
tenant of Cadillac and re-
nowned fighter of the Indian enc
mics of the French until he per-
ished at the stake in a Chicka-
saw village in 1876. Before that
time, however, he had built a
trading post and earth fort on
the present site of an Indian
city which now bears his name.
To this little town of Vim
cennes in 1889 came young man
who was a native of St. Antoine
on the Richelieu river III the
province of Quebec and during
the next few years his name be-
came famous in the adjoining
territory of Illinois. 1t was
Pierre Menard. He was friend
of Francisco Vigo, the Italian
trader who had been such an aid
to George Rogers Clark in the
conquest of Vincennes ten years
earlier and he accompanied Vigo
on a trip east to Carlisle, Pa,
where they had an interview
with George Washington in re-
gard to a plan for defense of the
western frontier.
A few years later Menard

lead mines on the west bank of
the Great River and today both
the city of Dubuque, Iowa, which
grew up from that mining camp,
and a village named Julien, a
short distance away, perpetuate
his fame.
Another native of st. Michel
was Noel LIE Vasseur, who at the
age of seventeen went West in
company with go other adventur-
Gus youths, joined up with a GER
tain Rocheblave (who was later
the last governor of the territory
of Illinois under British rule) and
became a fur trader in the en-
ploy of John Jacob Astor. He
roamed the new state of Illinois

French revolution and changed

played an increasingly important
part in the development of the
territory. When Illinois became
a state he was its first lieutenant
governor and he also was one of
the founders in St. Louis of the
famous Missouri Fur company.
Almost as famous as Pierre
Menard was his nephew, Michel
Menard, born at st. Denis on the
Richelieu in 1905. He became a
fur trader in the Old Northwest

his uncle in Illinois and Missouri

Sons Of Quebec Who "Futhered American Cities

olet. The province of Quebec,
however, has done better by him
with both a county and town
bearing his name.
Out in Utah is a city which
bears the name of man who
was born in the City of Quebec.
1t is the City of Ogden which
honors Peter Skene Ogden, son
of New York Loyalist, who fled
to Canada during the Revolution
and who became one of the lead
ing magistrates of the province.
His son joined the Hudson's Bay
company at an early age and as
one of its factors played an i'm
portant part in the early history
of the fur trade in the Great
West.
One of his contemporaries in
this period was another Quebec
born boy, DR.. John Mclaughlin,
who also entered the H. B. c.
service, established Fort Van
couver on the Columbia, reigned
there as the Emperor of the
West" and has come down in
history as the Father of Ore
gon." Riviere-du-Loup was his
birthplace and there the COM
memorative plaque has been
erected.
Like the City of Quebec, that
other Canadian metropolis, Mont
real, was also the birthplace or
home town of a number Of nota-
bles in the early history of the
United States. 1T was the birth
place of two brothers destined for
fame by their exploits in the
Lower Mississippi valley. One OF
them was Pierre lie Moyne,
Sieur D'Iberville, born there in
1861, who became the founder of
the French colony of Louisiana
and later founder of the City of
Mobile, Ala. The other was Jean
Baptiste lie Moyne, Sieur Bien-
vile, born in 1880, who became
the founder of the City of New
Orleans and of Biloxi, Miss. As
governor of the colony which his
brother founded, Bienville estab-
hshed the ''code noir" which re-
manned in force until the pur-
chase of Louisiana by the United
States and much of it was incor-
porated in the law of the Amer
lean state which bears the name
of the French colony. Another
native son of Montreal was
Jacques Porlier, founder of the
City of Green Bay, Wis.
Although Antoine de la Mothe
Cadillac was born in France,
Montreal claims him as one of
her sons, but Detroit, Mich, calls
him father" For it was Cadil-
lac who laid the foundations of

that city in 1701. At one time
also he was commander at Fort
Northumberland Con the present
Mackinac Island, Mich.) and
later he became governor Of
Louisiana. Another of Cadillac's
connections with American his
tory lies in the fact that in 1851
he was made lord of Bouagnat
and Mount Desert, Maine, and
nearly a century later the COM
monwealth of Massachusetts, con-
frrned to his granddaughter,
Nine. Gregoire, so much of
Mount Desert Island as was not
already granted to others.
Another French-born "son of
Montreal was Daniel Greysolon
Du Lhut, leader of a famous band
of ''coureurs du bois," fur
trader and explorer of the Upper
Mississippi, whose name is per-
petuated in the modern city of
Duluth, MINI. Two other ex-
plorers whose birthplaces are
m arked by commemorative
plaques are La Verendrye, first
white man in Wyoming and dis
coverer of the Big Horn noun
tains, who was born at Trois-
Riviere (Three Rivers) and
Nicolas Perrot, who lived at
Becancour.,
At the entrance of the village
of Contrecoeur in Quebec stands
a signpost which tells the visitor
that here was born Captain Con-
trecoeur, ''who erected a fort
where now stands the city of
Pittsburgh, Pa" But that is not
his only claim to fame. For it
was this same captain, who, as
commandant of Fort Duquesne,
sent out the force of French and
Indians, to try to delay the adj
vance of General Braddock and
who won that amazing victory
over the superior force of British
redcoats and Colonials one hot
summer day in 1855.
Visit the little town of Beau
mont and the marker will tell
you that here lived Jean Bap-
list Bissot, Sieur de Vincennes.
He was not only a relative of
Joliet, the explorer, but he was
also an explorer In his own right.

The films of travel, which car
ry the vision around the world
and back again
Eyes Around h ave vastly
the World broadened tn e
horizons of mil
lions of people, and in that re-
spect have proved to be of high
value.
The opportunities of most peo-
pie for seeing the world are very
limited.
The average person in small
towns and country places has a
very dim idea of the length and
breadth of the world, or of the
people who live in places remote
from him.
Today almost every boy and
girl can tell you of the Tai Ma
hal, or of the Desert of Sahara,
or the peaks of the Andes, or of
life in remote cities like London,
Paris and ConstantinOple.
Mr.. Shakespeare informs us
that Housekeeping youth have
ever homely wits"
But "homely wits" hardly ex-
list when practically all the peo-
pie of all the civilized countries
of the world can, by paying a
small price for seat in cine
ma theater look " round the
world and back again"
The camera man has complete
ly replaced the men who used to
go forth and view the world and
bring home pictures of it to be
thrown on a still screen.
From your seat in theater you
can view the Eskimo catching a
seal which will provide him with
his supper and an overcoat, with
a good clear glance at the peaks
of the Alps or the Andes, or at
elephants a pilin' teak in Bur
nah.
Minds feed on what the eyes
see.
Wherever there is anything
worth seeing the camera goes.
Loving their work, and eager
to bring home pictures of all the
known world, these daredevils of
the films are never daunted by
obstacles, or by dangers.
To me it has always been
astonishing that every school
room in every city and village
and town has not long ago been
provided with cameras and
screens to aid the children in
their work.

and IN 1918 settled on the present
site of Milwaukee as agent for
the A. F. c. Two years later he
married and he and his wife be-
came the first permanent white
settlers in Milwaukee. He was
the first postmaster of the new
town, the first president when it
became a village in 1887, and
when it was made a city in 1916
he became its first mayor.
Among the other towns in
Quebec where commemorative
markers have been erected are
the following: st. Pierre de Mon
tagny, birthplace of Norbert
Blanchet, first bishop of Oregon;
st. Henri-de-Lauzon, birthplace
of Louis Blanchette, founder of
st. Charles, Mo-; Ste. Anne-des-
PLANES, birthplace of Prudent
Peaudry, pioneer and a mayor
of Los Angeles, Calf, and
LOulSeVllle, birthplace OF BenJa-
min Gervais, founder of Gervais,

And last but not least is the
little town of Maskinonge, where
was born Francois Xavier Au-
bry, the man who won enduring
fame as one of the greatest long
distance riders in the history of
the West. In 1916 Aubry rode
from Santa Fe, N. NJ, to hide

miles, in eight days and ten
hours, and two years later, to

For the province of Quebec
has erected such markers in
more than a score of its cities
and towns. It has done this to
commemorate the deeds of some
of its sons who made good in
foreign parts" and to draw the
attention of Americans to the
historical link between it and
their country through these men.
The list of them is truly an i'm
pressive one. It includes ex-
plorers, fur traders, churchmen,
soldiers and civil officers who
had leading part in the de-
velopment of regions now en-
braced in nearly half of the
states of the Union. Moreover,
many of these native sons of
Quebec "fathered" some of our
most important cities, situated
in all parts of the United States
from New York to California
6and from Minnesota to Loui-
siana.
Outstanding in this list is the
name of Cavelier de La Sale,
who has the distinction of being
the founder" of no less than
three American cities-Niagara,
N. Y; Joliet, Ill, and Memphis,
Tenn. Another city in Illinois
bears his name, as does the
county in which it is located,
and there is a La Sale county
in Texas and a La Sale parish
in Louisiana to commemorate
the deeds of this intrepid ex-
plorer in the country where the
last scenes in the drama of his
life were enacted. Although La
Sale was born in France, Vile
La Sale was his ''home town"
and there the commemorative
marker has been erected.
