"Have resided in Minnesota twenty-nine years. Lake Glazier is regarded by the people generally of this section as the true source of the Mississippi."
From W. J. Brown, Principal of the High School, Monticello:
"I consider Lake Glazier to be the true source of the Mississippi, and know of no other. I teach the same in the public schools of this place, as also do my assistants."
From Commander A. H. Fitch, J. S. Cady Post, G. A. R., Department Minnesota; Anoka:
"I am fully convinced that the body of water, known as Lake Glazier since 1881, is the true source of the Mississippi, and not Lake Itasca."
From J. M. Tucker, M. D., Hastings:
"I believe Captain Glazier's claim to being the discoverer of the real source of the Mississippi is just, and have never heard it questioned. It must stand as one of the facts of history."
