From J. H. Hallett, Brainerd:
"I recognize the lake discovered by Captain Glazier as the real source of the Mississippi. Have been an Indian trader for the past fifteen years."
From Hon. N. Richardson, Little Falls, Judge of Probate of Morrison County:
"I have resided on the banks of the Mississippi for thirty-one years. Met Captain Glazier at Little Falls with his exploring party, that visited the headwaters of this river in the summer of 1881. From information derived from sources that I consider reliable, I regard Lake Glazier as the true source of the Great River. Have been a member of the Minnesota Legislature for three terms."
From O. L. Clyde, First Lieutenant, National Guard, Little Falls:
"I have been a resident of Northern Minnesota for twenty years, and always supposed that Lake Itasca was the source of the Mississippi. I never heard any thing to the contrary until the year 1881, when Captain Glazier explored the Upper Mississippi, and made his report of the same. I now recognize Lake Glazier as the true source of the Great River."
