  • Furono proprio le sue doti di esploratore, unite ad una buona dose di coraggio e spirito d'avventura, a permettergli di scoprire le sorgenti del fiume Mississippi, dove nessun pioniere era mai riuscito ad arrivare, percorrendo a ritroso i quasi 4000 km del fiume più lungo di tutte le Americhe. Parecchi anni più tardi queste terre da lui scoperte gli tributarono i giusti meriti, intitolandogli sia la contea più estesa dell'attuale stato del Minnesota (Beltrami county) che i monti in cui nasce il suddetto fiume. Nonostante tutto questo, la sua figura in Italia non è ancora sufficientemente conosciuta e studiata.
