Excerpt from Journal of a Voyage Up the River Missouri: Performed in Eighteen Hundred and Eleven by H. M. Brackenridge, Esq. Tee following is the Journal of a voyage, Of four or five months, on the Missouri river, beyond the settlements. The voyage was undertaken in the Spirit of adventure, which characterises so many Of our countrymen, and with little or no expectation Of profit or advantage. The accounts received from difierent persons had greatly excited my curiosity. The conversation Of Manuel Lisa, a man Of an ardent and enterprising character, and one of the most cele brated of those who traverse the Indian country, had in flamed my mind with the desire Of attempting something Of a similar nature. I set Ofi with the intention of making a summer excursion, as a simple hunter, unprovided with the means Of making mathematical Observations, but little [iv] acquainted with any Of the branches Of natural history, and without once imagining that I should ever publish the result Of my Observations. Afterwards, having published a vol ume, under the title Of Views Of Louisiana, the present Journal was placed in the appendix. But having been at first written in a loose and careless manner, the style, I fear, notwithstanding the corrections it has undergone, still retains too much Of its original defect. There are certainly many things which might be omitted; there are also topics, which the reader will be disappointed in finding untouched to this, I must answer, that having already entered into a variety Of details, in something like a regular and syste matic work, it would be improper to repeat them here.

Excerpt from The Daily News' History of Buchanan County and St. Joseph, Mo: From the Time of the Platte Purchase to the End of the Year 1898; Supplemented by Biographical Sketches of Noted Citizens, Living and Dead This is the second history of Buchanan County and St. Joseph, the first having been published in 1881. Since then much important local history has been made. In the compilation of this work the facts contained in the first history were used as groundwork and elaborated from data carefully collected, revised, and verified. The facts concerning subjects not treated in that volume, and the events of the period intervening between 1881 and 1899, were gathered from citizens, newspaper files, public records and other reliable sources. Accuracy has been our chief aim, and in order that this might be attained these chapters were first published in the Daily News and the public was invited to correct and to criticize. Much interest was manifested and many valuable suggestions were received. To all who have aided in the preparation of this work, the compiler extends his sincere thanks.

Excerpt from A History of the Missouri River: Discovery of the River by the Jesuit Explorers; Indian Tribes Along the River; Early Navigation and Craft Used; The Rise and Fall of Steamboating There is but little doubt that had the Missouri river been discovered before the Mississippi the name of the latter would have applied to both streams, and the Missouri would have been considered the main stream and the upper Mississippi the tributary. From the head of the Missouri, west of Yellowstone Park, to its mouth, as it meanders, is a distance of 2,546 miles; and to the Gulf of Mexico the Missouri-Mississippi has a length of 4,220 miles. The Missouri is longer than the entire Mississippi, and more than twice as long as that part of the latter stream above their confluence. It drains a watershed of 580,000 square miles, and its mean total annual discharge is estimated to be twenty cubic miles, or at a mean-rate of 94,000 cubic feet per second, which is more than twice the quantity of water discharged by the Upper Mississippi. It is by far the boldest, the most rapid and the most turbulent of the two streams, and its muddy water gives color to the Lower Mississippi river to the Gulf of Mexico. By every rule of nomenclature, the Missouri, being the main stream and the Upper Mississippi the tributary, the name of the former should have been given precedence, and the great river - the longest in the world - should have been called "Missouri" from the Rocky Mountains to the Gulf of Mexico.
