231. Etienne Brule (Coureur des Bois)

Where Samuel de Champlain did not actually travel himself, he sent other men to explore the interior of the continent. One was Coureur des Bois or wood runner Étienne Brûlé (1592-1632), the first white man to cross Pennsylvania and later the first to see Lake Superior.
