Weber is the owner of the URL davidBuisseret.com., and the content is
exclusively posted by Weber. Buisseret
and Kupfer are invited to contribute, but decline to participate. Weber has been "cancelled" and censored from presenting his rebuttal to certain senior Chicago Map Society members who have slammed the academic free speech door on him and his 2005 Marquette Map Hoax Thesis.
As
Chicago Tribune Pulitzer Prize winning investigative reporter for the Chicago Tribune Bill
Mullen emailed Professor Weber years ago, Weber's research will
necessitate the history books being revised regarding the maps of the period and the parts played by La Salle,
Jolliet, and Marquette. Not long afterward, Mullen wrote to Weber: "Carl, the field you are in is so full of academic intrigue and back-stabbing, so rife with charges, counter-charges and ad hominem attacks that I wearied of trying to sort through it.”
You misrepresented my ideas, invented MANY of your own, and made serious misattributions
to me.
"...from 1670 or so onward we read in numerous documents of Marquette's ... connection with Jolliet." In the same vein, Dr. Buisseret, in the text which you edited, in the Oxford Companion to World Exploration, we find:
No such Marquette and Jolliet plans are found, nor is the M & J "team" mentioned together in any contemporaneous documents prior to 1674, nor is an "appointment" or "approval" by Intendant Talon or Governor Frontenac to be found in any documents. This Jesuitista apologia is unconscionable.You WILL see it in the fake narrative of the 1673 Mississippi exploration, "discovered" in the mid-1800. The claim that it is legitimate has no grounds to stand on. If so, what are they? This document, the "Recit" ("Report"), me, getting it from the Jesuit Archives in Canada -- I was the first to post it on the INTERNET many years ago. As I was also the first to post on the INTERNET the very Marquette map under discussion itself. Your claim, as you emailed me, that you located in France a "precise" copy of the Marquette Map, in Paris since 1676, is total fabrication.You emailed me that you had discovered a "precise" copy of the Marquette map in France, that had been there since 1676 -- proving the existence of a Marquette map original in the 17th Century, from which original, the supposed French map was copied, in Canada and then sent to France. No such 1676 map exists. You guys waited 6 years, presenting to the Chicago Map Society, to try to refure MY observations that the map was a hoax. In a contemptible breach of academic protocal, and stating them incorrectly, you failed to mention Weber's ideas you were attempting to refute. And the Chicago Maps Society refused me the chance to counter your false information againtst me -- more cotemptible breaching. As I'm sure you recall, you were at my presentation to the Chicago Map Society, Marquette Myths, in 2005, at the Newberry Library. I presented my evidence and argument showing the Marquette Map was not a 1674 creation, but is a 19th Century historical deceit. Below,
the 1844 "Discovered" Marquette Map, the image on the left, is what
Marquette was supposed to have drawn in 1674. Note the three sides of
the Illinois River, they are roughly three sides of an octagon. That
contour is seen on no map until the19th Century Melish map, on the
right. I had examined 70-80 maps in chronology before arriving at the
Melish map.
In 2006 I presented the Marquette Map Hoax Thesis at a history conference in Springfield:* * *
In the following, you say "thought by many" to be a more recent forgery. Can provide evidence of the "many"? I don't thinks so. There has always been just me.
