"The correction as to the True Source of the Mississippi will be made as opportunity occurs, when issuing new editions of our publications."
From Herr A. Hartleben, one of the leading Publishers of Germany:
"I congratulate Captain Glazier on his important discovery of the source of the Mississippi River, and shall have great pleasure in bringing the subject to the notice of our Geographical Society."
From Appleton's Annual Encyclopedia—1885:
"Lake Itasca, which has been distinguished as the head of the Mississippi for fifty years, must, it seems, yield that distinction to a smaller lake about a mile and a half in length by a mile in width, lying further south, discovered by Captain Willard Glazier in, 1881, and named for him 'Lake Glazier.'"
From American Supplement to the Encyclopedia Britannica:
"The Mississippi has its source in Lake Glazier, south of Lake Itasca, Minnesota, 47° 34' N. lat, 95° 2' W. long. The greatest width of this lake is a mile and a half, and it is deeper than Itasca, with which it is connected by a shallow stream about six feet wide."
