Glazier
LAKE, a body of water in Minnesota, S. of Lake Itasca, into which it empties through a swift and permanent stream about six feet wide; named for Capt. Willard Glazier, who claimed for it a geographical importance as the true source of the Mississippi. Lake Glazier is in lat. about 47° 34′ N. and lon. 95° .02′ W.; is 1½ miles in greatest diameter; and has an area of 255 acres.
It is estimated to be 1,582 feet above the Atlantic, and 3,184 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. The Minnesota State Historical Society sent an expedition to the region and published a refutation of Glazier's claims.
