W. Butterfield is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work chronicles the exploits of John Nicolet, the first European to explore significant portions of the Northwest Territory, including present-day Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin. It highlights Nicolet's daring expeditions and pivotal role in establishing early French relations with native tribes in these regions, as well as his exploration of Lake Michigan. At the start of the narrative, the author sets the stage by detailing the historical context of pre-historic man in the Northwest and the cultural landscape before Nicolet's arrival. The introduction outlines how Nicolet was selected for his remarkable capacity to engage with native tribes, reflecting his background and experiences among Indigenous peoples. The text then prepares the reader for Nicolet’s adventurous journey into uncharted territory, filled with the accounts of his interactions with various tribes and the vast geographic regions he encountered, setting up the central exploration narrative to follow.
