Book excerpt: Excerpt from Captain Glazier and His Lake: An Inquiry Into the History and Progress of Exploration at the Head-Waters of the Mississippi Since the Discovery of Lake Itasca According to the latest version of modern burlesque, the King of Spain once upon a time said to Columbus, Colum. Bus, can you discover America? To which replied the great Christopher: Certainly, your majesty, if you will give me a ship. So the king gave him a ship, and he sailed and he sailed until he came in sight of land. Sailing up to the shore, he hailed a chief and asked him, Is this America?
