Hennepin, Louis, a Reformed Franciscan missionary and explorer, born about 1640 at Ath, in Flanders.
In 1675 he became a missionary to Canada. He was (1679-80) a member of La Salle's memorable band of of explorers, who traversed
the great lakes and the Upper Mississippi and its tributaries. He returned to Europe in 1697. He published Description de
la Louisiane (1683), a valuable work, though full of exaggerations, and Nouvelle decouverte d'un tres grand pays (1697),
which contains his previous work, enlarged by a narrative of a pretended voyage down the Mississippi to its mouth. In later life
Hennepin abandoned the habit and the obedient life of his order, though still claiming the title of Recollet missionary. Died at
Utrecht about 1706.
