About This Book

Le récit narre plusieurs voyages entrepris depuis Saint‑Louis vers les Montagnes Rocheuses et les tribus du territoire de l'Oregon, mêlant récit de route, descriptions paysagères détaillées du Missouri et des forêts, et rencontres avec divers peuples autochtones. L'auteur observe leurs mœurs, cérémonies et besoins, rend compte des efforts évangéliques et des baptêmes, des projets d'apprentissage de l'agriculture et des difficultés rencontrées par les missionnaires, tout en offrant des impressions naturalistes et ethnographiques sur la flore, les établissements riverains et les espoirs de conversion et de civilisation.
