According to Historians, the French King Louis XIV commissioned James Marquette and Louis Joliet to explore the American continent for expanding the French empire.
Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet mainly sailed down the Missipi River, starting in Lake Michigan and continuing until they reached Arkansas. On their trip back to Canada, they sailed the Illinois River.
Louis Joliet and Jacques Marquette never went as far as the Gulf of Mexico. Robert LaSalle explored the Gulf of Mexico.
they found the Mississippi river for there country
Marquette and Joliet as part of their exploration of the unknown territories between the great lakes and the gulf of Mexico, sailed down the Mississippi discovering Indian tribes and new lands along the way including Arkansas and Iowa. They stayed only briefly. However, other French explorers followed. As a result Iowa was part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803.
Louis Jolliet was born in Quebec on September 21, 1645. He died on May 22, 1700, also in Quebec. Joliet, Illinois, was named after him.
Joliet and Marquette explored for the King of France.

Marquette and Joliet were from France I think. They then moved to Canada and lived in Quebec... Marquette or Joliet (forgot which one) was a priest or something like that. Joliet or Marquette was an explorer. They meet each other and then became traders. They traded glass beads for fur from the Indians. That is pretty much all I know about them.
Marquette explored for a governer and he went with Louis Joliet.
they were famous explorers
Joliet thought Marquette lacked tact and cleanliness. In the canoe, he often sat as far away from Marquette, as possible. He had hopes that one day a mall would be named after him, because Joiet felt he had way more fashion sense than Marquette. Low and behold, there is a Louis Joliet Mall in Joliet, Illinois, today!!
