Excerpt from The Story of Minnesota, Vol. 1
Perhaps he argued to himself that he was beyond their lawful jurisdiction, for he had passed beyond the regions that had been officially explored by the agents of the king. He belonged to a class of men widely known at the time as forest rangers (coureurs da bois), who, outlaws as they were, occasionally rendered great service to their countrymen and to their sovereign, much as Robin Hood, in the stories told, came to the relief of his king. Duluth had for able attendants other forest rangers - forceful men like himself; and they seem to have recognized his leadership and to have worked with him without any friction.
