Book Description
Excerpt from Views of Louisiana: Together With a Journal of a Voyage Up the Missouri River, in 1811 During the winter before mentioned, I became acquainted with Mr. Bradbury, Fellow of the Linnean Society; a gentleman as distinguish-t ed for his agreeable manners, sound understanding, and general sci ence, as for his attainments in the department of natural history. My acquaintance with him naturally nourished the fondness I had begun to feel for the subjects treated of in this volume. In the spring following, this gentleman set off to ascend the Missouri in the party of Mr. Wil son P. Hunt, for the purpose of pursuing his researches in those unfrea quented regions. Shortly after his departure, Mr. Manuel Lisa, one of the members of the Missouri Fur Company, ascended with a small party, for the purpose of retrieving the affairs of the company, which had become considerably deranged: being solicited by this gentleman to accompany him, my wish to visit those countries was so strong, that I did not hesitate, notwithstanding that there was much to be feared from the hostilities of the Indians, who of late had been unfriendly to the whites; in so much, that it was generally supposed, that even the considerable party of Mr. Hunt would not be able to make its' way through the Sioux bands. The pleasure of being in company with Mr. Bradbury, whom we expected to overtake, was not a light consideraa. Tion. I accordingly ascended, and after an absence of four or five months, returned to St. Louis, with two boats loaded with furs and pel try of the company, placed under my command. Remaining at St. Louis until the month of November, I embarked for New Orleans, where I ar rived in December 1811. Here I met with one of the publishers of this work, Mr. Cramer, and proposed to him the publication of the es says before mentioned, With the journal of my Voyage up the Missou. Ri to which he assented, on condition that I would extend it, and add something relative to the state of Louisiana.
