Charles Michel de Langlade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charles Michel de Langlade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Charles Michel de Langlade (1729 – c. 1800), was a Great Lakes fur trader of New France and Odawa heritage. His father was Augustin Langlade; his mother was a sister of Odawa war chief Nissowaquet.

In 1752, Charles Langlade led the raid on Pickawillany, which paved the way for the French and Indian War. In 1755, he led a group from the Three Fires confederacy over Edward Braddock and George Washington at the Battle of Monongahela. He took part in the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, leading a group of Odawa warriors.

Later, during the American Revolutionary War, Langlade led Great Lakes Indians as an ally of the British commanders in Canada, and was promoted to captain in the Indian Department.

He later settled in Green Bay, and as the first permanent partially-European settler in what became Wisconsin, he is remembered as the 'Father of the State.' Langlade County, Wisconsin is named after him.[1]"
