Excerpt from The Iowa Journal of History and Politics, 1928, Vol. 13 One of the first results of the intercourse between French traders and native tribesmen in the Middle West was the Indian hunter's loss of independence. To obtain the merchandise of the European the simple native had to pay the price in furs, and to get a sufficient quantity of this form of money he had to procure a gun and ammunition. Thus it happened that the Indians became dependent upon the French for their supply of goods and guns, powder and shot. The Mines of Nicholas Perrot Among the earliest traders in the Upper Mississippi Valley was an experienced bush-ranger, Nicholas Perrot, French Commandant of the West. Some time during the year 1690 a party of Miami Indians came to him with a request that he set up a trading-post in their country south of the Wisconsin River, and they made presents of beaver skins and "a piece of ore which came from a very rich Lead Mine... on the bank of a stream which empties into the Mississippi." Perrot promised to comply with their wishes within twenty days. Deposits of lead then existed on both sides of the Great River. Opinion differs on the question whether Perrot built a post upon Catfish Creek in the Iowa country or upon the Galena River in Illinois. One fact, however, seems certain in the absence of available records to the contrary: Perrot was the first European who mined lead in this region.
