This river is the greateft refort for wild fowl of every kind that I met with in the whole courfe of my travels; frequently the fun would be obfcured by them for fome minutes together. About forty miles up this river, from the great town of the Winnebagoes, ftands a fmallcr town belonging to that na- tion. Deer and bears are very numerous in thele parts, and a great many beavers and otlier furs are taken on the ftreams that empty themfelves into this river. The River I am treating of, is re- markable for having been, about eighty years ago, the refidence of the united bands of the Ottigaumies and the Saukies, whom the French had nicknamed, accord- ing to tlieir wonted cuftom, Dcs Sacs and Des Reynards, the Sacks and tiie Foxes, of whom the following anecdote was re- lated to me by an Indian.
