In the following See also:year he collected See also:geological and mineralogical specimens in See also:Missouri and See also:Arkansas, and in 1819 he published his View of the See also:Lead Mines of Missouri. In 182o he accompanied See also:General See also:Lewis See also:Cass as geologist in his expedition to the Upper See also:Mississippi and the See also:Lake See also:Superior See also:copper region, and in 1823 he was appointed See also:Indian See also:agent for the Lake Superior See also:country. More than sixteen millions of acres were ceded by the See also:Indians to the See also:United States in See also:treaties which he negotiated. He married the granddaughter of an Indian See also:chief; and during several years' See also:official See also:work near Lake Superior, and later under authorisation of an See also:Act of See also:Congress of 1847, he acquired much See also:information as to institutions, &c., of the American natives. From 1828 to 1831 Schoolcraft was an active member of the See also:Michigan legislature. In 1832, when on an See also:embassy to some Indians, he ascertained the real source of the Mississippi to be Lake Itasca.
In 1825 he published Travels in the Central Portions of the Mississippi Valley, and in 1839 appeared his Algic Researches, containing Indian legends, notably, " The Myth of See also:Hiawatha and other Oral Legends."

1 Another See also:painting of the same subject in the See also:Doria See also:Palace in See also:Rome (usually attributed to Darer) is given to See also:Schongauer by See also:Crowe and Cavalcaselle, Flemish Painters (See also:London, 1872), p. 359; but the See also:execution is not equal to Schongauer's wonderful See also:touch.
2 An interesting example of Schongauer's popularity in See also:Italy is given by the lovely See also:Faenza See also:plate in the See also:British'Msiseum, on which is painted a copy of See also:- MARTIN (Martinus)
