Henry Rowe Schoolcraft

mini|Henry Rowe Schoolcraft Henry Rowe Schoolcraft (* 28. März 1793 in Guilderland, damals zu Watervliet, Albany County, New York gehörend; † 10. Dezember 1864 in Washington, D.C.) war ein US-amerikanischer Entdecker und Ethnologe, der bekannt dafür wurde, im Jahr 1832 die Quelle des Mississippi River gefunden zu haben. mini|Henry Rowe Schoolcraft, 1884 Die ersten Interessen von Schoolcraft waren Steine und Mineralien, die ihn 1820 zu einer geologischen Expedition zum Oberen See brachten. Anschließend war er Kartenhersteller und Staatsangestellter an der Northwest Frontier, nahe dem See Lake Superior. 1822 ging er als Indianeragent nach Michigan und wurde 1839 zum Hauptagenten der Indianer des nördlichen Departments ernannt. Im Jahre 1832 entdeckte er die Quelle des Mississippi in einem See in Nord-Minnesota, den er Lake Itasca nannte, nach den lateinischen Wörtern ''veritas'' (Wahrheit) und ''caput'' (Kopf).

Schoolcraft war mit Jane Johnston verheiratet, die indianisch-irischer Herkunft war. Er interessierte sich für die amerikanische Urbevölkerung und schrieb mit Unterstützung seiner Frau über deren Geschichte, Sprache, Mythologie, Hieroglyphen, Bilder, Religionen usw. Sein Hauptwerk wird gebildet durch die nach einer Kongressakte unternommene und auf Kosten der Regierung herausgegebene ''Historical and statistical information respecting the history, condition, and prospects of the Indian tribes of the United States'' (6 Bde., 336 Kupfertafeln) Philadelphia (1851–1857). In zweiter Ehe war er mit Mary Howard verheiratet, die aus einer Plantagenfamilie in South Carolina stammte. Sie schrieb das Buch ''The Black Gauntlet. A Tale of Plantation Life in South Carolina'', in dem sie die Sklaverei verteidigte.

1847 zog Henry Rowe Schoolcraft nach Washington, wo er am 10. Dezember 1864 starb. Veröffentlicht in Wikipedia
