Jolliet’s qualified opinion was the one adopted by Louis XIV in the ordinance of 24 May 1679, permitting traffic in spirits within the colony but forbidding it in the woods.
It is difficult to state the exact object of this trip, but one may suppose that Jolliet assumed himself to have a double objective: to estimate the extent of English influence on the tribes in the Hudson basin, and perhaps to lay the foundations for a trade alliance with the Indians in the north.

 Louis de Joliet Publishing   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Born in Joliet, Illinois in 1946, the eighth surviving child of devout Croatian-Catholic immigrant parents and the beneficiary of twelve years of Catholic education, Louis Zdunich was also a founding member of the German (language) Club at Joliet Catholic High, from which he graduated in 1964.
As might be expected, Louis, in both his writings and on the campaign trail, takes a unique approach: discarding for one the dissecting, laboratory-like methodology taken in the schools, on the one hand, and the special-interest-rewarding political world with which it goes so uncannily-well, like a hand in a glove, on the other.
Indeed Louis finds that much of the little-adverted-to purpose of the above-noted long-running “good ole boy” moral and intellectual trivialization is to obscure the path to these benchmarks of sovereign greatness and integrity, to keep the USA morally and economically divided, frustrated, less-than-great: all the while stirring slogans abound.
