Jefferson County Missouri was first organized in 1818 and named Jefferson County in honor of the former 1801 to 1809 President Thomas Jefferson. The territory that is now Jefferson County Missouri was once under control of the Spanish in the 1700’s. The Spanish gave the settlers a certain amount of land to live on, which was mostly along the Mississippi river. The first town in the county was New Hartford, the town was laid out in 1806 by two men John W. Honey and Christian Wilt. The exact location of the town is unknown, but it is thought to be somewhere on the Mississippi River, near the present location of Herculaneum just one of the ten cities in Jefferson County Missouri.
“The Oregon Trail,” written by Francis Parkman is a description of the experiences traveling into the unknown depths of the American west in 1846. The story is told from the first person point of view of Parkman, a scholar from Boston who embarks on the great expedition of traveling into the west in hopes of studying the lives of the Native Americans. His journey is also one of the first detailed descriptions of the beauty and the bounty of a largely uninhabited North American territory. But one of the most critical elements of the story was Parkman’s encounters and recruitment of members to his band of travelers who ultimately play a major role in the success of the western journey.

Together with Cabeza de Vaca, they headed west and south hoping to reach the Spanish Empire 's outpost in Mexico, becoming the first men of the Old World to enter the American West.

Through his journey of trying to find specimens, he came across Angkor. Henri recorded three weeks worth of drawings and observations of Angkor and told everyone once he had come back from his botanical expedition.

Journal 1 - When reading the text from both authors, it can be construed that the language used by Boudinot is much more cordial toward the white rather than the disparaging remarks shown in Apess’ reading. Boudinot characterizes the natives as wrongdoers while comparing the whites if they were gods. “They hang upon your mercy as to a garment. Will you push them from you, or will you save them?” This statement is a clear connection between Boudinot’s merciful attitude toward whites and his desire to depict them as gods.
