April 11, 1680 – “Father Louis Hennepin explored the Mississippi [River] by canoe, [and] was captured by a group of Dakota [on this date]. During captivity he [was] the first white man to see the Falls of St. Anthony, which he named for his patron saint. On July 25, explorer Daniel Greysolon, Sieur du Lhut arranged for Hennepin's release.”
