Henry Rowe Schoolcraft was an American geographer, geologist, and ethnologist renowned for his pioneering research on Native American cultures and his 1832 expedition to the source of the Mississippi River. He also served as a United States Indian agent in Michigan, where he named several counties using neologisms from indigenous languages. Schoolcraft’s extensive six-volume study of Native Americans, commissioned by Congress and published in the 1850s, established him as a prominent authority in the field. Throughout his career, he continued to conduct research and publish works on various Native American tribes.
