Captain Jonathan Carver explored the territory beyond the Mississippi, and endeavoured to find a NORTH-WEST LAND PASSAGE from the Atlantic to the Pacific. He was the first to call attention to the present MINNESOTA; during his 7000 miles of travel through practically unexplored country, he visited twelve Tribes of Indians on the most friendly terms, and was made a Chief. In the deed bearing the totems of two great Indian chiefs, granting him an extensive tract of land near the Mississippi, he is described as "our good brother Jonathan," whence possibly came the name of the Americans collectively.
