  Etienne Brule's discovery of Lake Superior - Wisconsin Historical Society
Brule, an interpreter for Champlain, journeyed into the far West with Huron guides in 1622 or 1623.
The first is a handful of scattered references in a book written by Sagard a few years after Brule's death, given here in their entirety in French and English.
Unfortunately Sagard's mentions of what Brule saw are tantalizingly few and very vague, and the distances he stated are wildly impossible, so scholars have been reluctant to say Brule reached Wisconsin before Nicolet.
