The beginning of this volume introduces the narrative of the search for the Pacific Ocean, describing the various schemes undertaken to reach it between 1716 and 1761. It recounts the efforts of notable figures like Father Charlevoix and Pierre de la Vérendrye, including their missions to engage with Indigenous tribes and the challenges they faced in hostile territories. Specific details emerge about the attempts to establish trade posts and the harsh realities of adventure into the uncharted wilderness, including conflicts with the Sioux and various hardships encountered during explorations.
