From Hon. Samuel E. Adams, Member of the Minnesota Historical Society, Monticello:
"I have no doubt of the correctness of Captain Glazier's statement that he discovered the new source of the Mississippi now bearing his name."
From John H. Elliott, Secretary Y. M. C. A., Minneapolis:
"I have no hesitation in stating that I believe Lake Glazier to be the real source of the Mississippi River, and that Captain Glazier's claims are entitled to respectful and grateful recognition."
From J. S. McLain, Evening Journal, Minneapolis:
"I have no reason to question the claim of Captain Glazier to have been the first to correctly map the section of country about the source of the Mississippi, or that the body of water which bears his name is the true source of the Great River."
From Albert Shaw, Minneapolis Tribune:
"Unquestionably Captain Glazier may claim the credit of having called public attention to the fact that there is a lake beyond Lake Itasca which is more strictly to be considered as the source of the Mississippi. That the lake will always be called Lake Glazier, and that it will henceforth be spoken of everywhere as the source of the Great River, I have no doubt; nor do I doubt the propriety of the name."
