DATE OF THE DETROIT SETTLEMENT.
In the spring he sent forward the Chevalier Tonty in advance of the rest to join these men. The brevity of the historians of the enterprise omits mention of many things which would have been valuable aids now in determining the state of the country. But the fact that these men were sent forward in this way is very good evidence that La Salle knew they would find safe quarters and would not be exposed to any serious inconveniences.
