This first volume details Pike's explorations of the Mississippi River, Louisiana Territory, and parts of New Spain during the years 1805 to 1807. Through a detailed narrative, the work captures Pike's journey and endeavors, as well as his interactions with Native American tribes and British traders in the region. The opening of this volume sets the stage for Pike’s travels, beginning with a preface that outlines his motivations and objectives for the expeditions. It describes his detailed itineraries, traffic with various Indian tribes, and the scientific and military goals of his missions, including establishing American authority in newly acquired territories. Pike introduces himself as a soldier who, despite limited formal education, aims to fulfill military orders while contributing to the burgeoning understanding of the geography and culture of the American West. This groundwork highlights the challenges and ambitions that would define both his travels and the early 19th-century explorative ethos of the United States.
