Hudson's Bay1959
Lt. Zebulon Pike:
My instructions are from Congress and my superior officers are as follows: One, to follow up the Mississippi River to its source.
Jonathan Banner:
Oh, well, that...
Lt. Zebulon Pike:
And two, to establish friendly relations with the Indian tribes and three, to locate that line due west of Lake of the Woods to where it intersects the Mississippi River which, according to the treaty of 1783, establishes the border between the United States and Canada and there, sir, to plant the American flag.
Jonathan Banner:
Mmm.
Lt. Zebulon Pike:
Why do you say, "Mmm", Mr. Banner?
Jonathan Banner:
Well, you say a line drawn due west from Lake of the Woods.
Lt. Zebulon Pike:
Yes - to where it intersects the Mississippi.
Jonathan Banner:
Well, Lake of the Woods, you know, that's 120 miles further north.
Lt. Zebulon Pike:
I'm aware of that, Banner. Does it make any difference?
Jonathan Banner:
It wouldn't only you see the Mississippi...
Lt. Zebulon Pike:
Yes?
Jonathan Banner:
The Mississippi starts right here.
