Canadian historic treasure may be a hoax
andy Boswell, CanWest News Service
Published: Thursday, June 22, 2006
A treasured Canadian artifact, long hailed as the earliest map of the
American Midwest and the best proof of the 1673 discovery of the
Mississippi River by two French-Canadian explorers has been dismissed
as a ``hoax'' by a U.S. researcher, who claims it couldn't have been
drawn before the War of 1812.
