Bradbury traveled from St. Louis to the Arikara Indian villages, some eighteen hundred miles above the mouth of the Missouri. From there he accompanied Ramsay Crooks to the fur-trading station among the Mandan, two hundred miles farther up river. His observations and experiences among the Native American tribes (both friendly and otherwise) are colorful and informative, as are his wondrous descriptions of rivers and natural features, settlements, fortifications, Canadian boatmen, war parties, narrow escapes from wild animals, buffalo herds and the buffalo hunt, fossil bones, a medicine man, a tremendous thunder storm, and much more, including an amazing recounting of the massive New Madrid earthquake. Although Lewis and Clark had returned from their expedition in 1806, their journals were yet to be published when Bradbury set out from St. Louis. At that time, any reports or illustrations of the people, wildlife and territory of the western United States were eagerly consumed by the public and the scientific community alike. Due to the technological limitations of the day, Bradbury's journals would not be published until 1817. Appendices include: a glossary of common words in the Osage language; an oration delivered by Big Elk (chief of the Maha nation) over the grave of Black Buffalo (chief of the Tetons); the narrative of the expedition of Mr. Hunt; Mr. Crook's narrative of Mr. Hunt's expedition from the Arikaras to the Pacific; a description of the Missouri Territory; remarks on emigration to the states of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, and the Illinois and Western Territories; and a catalogue of some of the more rare or valuable plants discovered in the neighborhood of St. Louis and on the Missouri.

Wyeth formed his party of pioneers and formulated his plans. With the opening of spring a vessel laden with supplies was to start around Cape Horn, to meet the overland adventurers (the Oregon Colonization Society) at the mouth of the Columbia. Wyeth, meanwhile, was to lead a company of hale young men across the continent, who should hunt and trap on the way, and be ready on arrival to provide a cargo of furs for the vessel, and later to develop the products of the Oregon country.\" Unfortunately nothing went as planned. The majority of his men found the hazards too great and turned back; his vessel had been wrecked on a Pacific reef; and his cargo of supplies was lost. He passed the winter at Fort Vancouver before returning to Boston and embarking on a second adventure. Although his kinsman John B. Wyeth was one of those who voted to turn back, his narrative provides a picture of early life on the plains and in the mountains with vivid pictures of the fur-trade leaders and of friendly and hostile Indians. \"John K. Townsend, a well-known Philadelphia physician and naturalist, had long been desirous of exploring the far western country in the interests of science.\" He joined Wyeth second expedition and through his narrative provided detailed knowledge of the resources of the Far Northwest. \"From the commercial and economic standpoint, Wyeth's enterprise was a failure; from the historian's point of view, it was eminently successful. He conducted considerable parties of Americans across the continent, some of whom became permanent settlers in the Oregon country, and his personal narrative on the worth of the new region helped pave the way for the final acquisition of that country under the Oregon Treaty of 1846.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis is a tangible media product shipped via mail.

The adventurers followed the Santa Fe Trail, which was infinitely more difficult and dangerous, rather than the Oregon Trail. Although all but four of his fellow adventurers had deserted him, Farnham managed to find a competent guide to steer them across the Colorado Mountains and eventually arrived at the Hudson's Bay Company's headquarters at Fort Vancouver, minus two more of his company. His account of this journey comprises Volume XXVIII. Volume XXIX follows his exploration of the settled portion of the country. After a brief sojourn, he left Oregon on the Hudson's Bay Company's vessel bound for Hawaii, and then took passage for the coast of California, journeyed across Mexico to New Orleans, finally arriving home to Illinois. The value of his writing lies in his detailed descriptions of his journey: his vivid portrayal of the Colorado mountain valleys, streams, and ranges; the fertility of the great parks; and the resources and geography of the area. He made his readers realize the hardy endurance needed for such a journey. Volume XXIX also includes the experiences of Father Pierre Jean de Smet as he made the rounds of his Oregon missions, going to Vancouver and the Willamette, back across the Spokane plains to the Coeur D'Alene mission, and finally to St. Mary's.

Palmer's caravan joined Samuel K. Barlow and his company in an attempt to cross the Cascades south of Mount Hood and continue overland to the Willamette Valley. They finally reached Oregon City, the capital of the new territory and Palmer wintered there exploring the Oregon country and examining its resources before returning to his home in Laurel, Indiana. \"Palmer's experience, although trying, had been sufficiently satisfactory to justify his intention to make a permanent home in Oregon.\" This volume details his experience, giving simple narrative of each day's happenings; taking care to indicate the route, each night's camping places, and all possible cut-offs, springs, and grassy oases. His record of climate, early prices in Oregon and the necessities required by the emigrant complete \"a graphic picture of pioneering days\" and the most complete description of the Oregon Trail available.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis is a tangible media product shipped via mail.

Bradbury traveled from St. Louis to the Arikara Indian villages, some eighteen hundred miles above the mouth of the Missouri. From there he accompanied Ramsay Crooks to the fur-trading station among the Mandan, two hundred miles farther up river. His observations and experiences among the Native American tribes (both friendly and otherwise) are colorful and informative, as are his wondrous descriptions of rivers and natural features, settlements, fortifications, Canadian boatmen, war parties, narrow escapes from wild animals, buffalo herds and the buffalo hunt, fossil bones, a medicine man, a tremendous thunder storm, and much more, including an amazing recounting of the massive New Madrid earthquake. Although Lewis and Clark had returned from their expedition in 1806, their journals were yet to be published when Bradbury set out from St. Louis. At that time, any reports or illustrations of the people, wildlife and territory of the western United States were eagerly consumed by the public and the scientific community alike. Due to the technological limitations of the day, Bradbury's journals would not be published until 1817. Appendices include: a glossary of common words in the Osage language; an oration delivered by Big Elk (chief of the Maha nation) over the grave of Black Buffalo (chief of the Tetons); the narrative of the expedition of Mr. Hunt; Mr. Crook's narrative of Mr. Hunt's expedition from the Arikaras to the Pacific; a description of the Missouri Territory; remarks on emigration to the states of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, and the Illinois and Western Territories; and a catalogue of some of the more rare or valuable plants discovered in the neighborhood of St. Louis and on the Missouri.

By mid-June, in two frail canoes of birchbark, and with five French servants, the explorers entered the great river at the mouth of the Wisconsin, and descended, with many interesting adventures, as far south as the mouth of the Arkansas River. Learning from the Indians the course and characteristics of the waterway from that point to the Gulf of Mexico, they returned northward by way of the Illinois and Chicago Rivers and the west shore of Lake Michigan, reaching the Jesuit mission at the De Pere rapids, Wisconsin, in September. Overcome by a malady contracted through exposure and hardship upon the long voyage, Marquette could not leave De Pere until October of 1674. He returned by boat to Illinois, where he desired to found a new mission. After a cold, dreary journey up the west coast of Lake Michigan, he was obliged because of ill health to pass the winter with two servants in a wretched cabin upon the Chicago River. In early spring he was able to proceed to some Indian villages upon the Illinois River, but soon was compelled by his ailment to return, this time intending to reach the old mission of St. Ignace, on the Mackinac Straits. Death overtook him while still 250 miles from his destination. Such, in outline, is the brief, simple tragedy of one of the most interesting characters in American history. Father Marquette was great as an explorer, as a \"tamer of savages\", and as a preacher; and he has left to us in the journals of his voyages of 1673 and 1674-75, two keenly interesting human documents. Whenever practicable, the present writer has drawn freely upon the annual Relations of the Jesuits, and upon Marquette's own journals.

Intent on this purpose he proceeded by way of Sandusky, Buffalo, and the Erie Canal to New York, whence he sailed for the mother country.” There he published his journal of the trip, eventually bringing his family to America and settling on his estate. Dr. Josiah Gregg spent nine years crossing between the United States and New Mexico eight times as he led trading caravans far into the Mexican territory. During all these wanderings Gregg kept a journal of daily occurrences and at the urging of friends began contributing articles to various southwestern newspapers. These articles, which became a two-volume book, covered the status of the New Mexican provinces, the Santa Fe Trade before the closing of the Mexican custom houses in 1841, the customs and manners of the people and the resources of the country.
