Allouez, Claude Jean, 1620-
One of the earliest French missionaries and explorers of the country near the Great Lakes; born in 1620.
After laboring among the Indians on the St. Lawrence several years, he penetrated the Western wilds and established a mission on the western shores of Lake Michigan, where he heard much about the Mississippi River, and made notes of what he learned concerning it. He explored Green Bay, and founded a mission among the Foxes, Miamis, and other tribes there.
A mission begun by Marquette at Kaskaskia, Ill., Allouez sought to make his permanent field of labor; but when La Salle, the bitter opponent of the Jesuits, approached in 1679, he retired.
Returning to the Miamis on the St. Joseph's River, he labored for a while, and died, Aug. 27, 1689.
The contributions of Father Allouez to the Jesuit relations are most valuable records of the ideas and manners of the Indians.
