Voyage Journal Notes on Osage and Missouria Territory
The text records De Bourgmond's limited references to Indigenous tribes in Osage and Missouria areas, noting a village near the Grand River mouth and a Missouria prairie in present Carroll County. It mentions a Kansas village above Independence Creek near St Joseph, then June 16 at the Platte River mouth. The account credits Du Pratz for pushing farther up Missouri, cites a 1717 Vermale map locating Mahas near the Sioux River mouth, and notes De Bourgmond’s journal was made public by Baron Marc De Villiers in 1925 with no English translation published.
