	Daniel Greysolon, Sieur Du Lhut
		Du Lhut was the first Canadian to explore the West and it was his privilege to save Father Hennepin from captivity when this famous Recollect missionary, having become separated from La Salle's expedition, was wandering about in the wilderness near Saint-Antoine.
		On account of his intrepidity, Du Lhut had great influence over the savages, who admired and feared him; he kept them loyal to France and obliged them to join the expeditions which La Barre and Denonville organized against the Iroquois in 1684 and 1687.
		Du Lhut was one of the most dauntless pioneer rangers (coureurs de bois) in Canada during the French regime.
