"Description of a Journey and Visit to the Pawnee Indians: who live on the Platte River" by Brn. Gottlieb F. Oehler and David Z. Smith is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This book documents the authors' expedition to meet the Pawnee Indians, highlighting their observations on the indigenous people and their culture, as well as the challenges faced by both the missionaries and the Pawnees due to their interactions with settlers and government agents. In this narrative, Oehler and Smith share their journey from Westfield to the Pawnee villages, capturing the landscapes and towns they encounter along the way. Upon reaching the Pawnee, they describe their meetings with the tribes, the welcoming spirits of the leaders, and the dire conditions faced by the Pawnees due to resource scarcity, particularly in the wake of hostile actions from neighboring tribes. The missionaries communicate their aim to introduce Christianity and educational opportunities to the Pawnee, who expressed interest in hosting missionaries to improve their lives, both spiritually and materially. The text offers an intimate perspective on the culture, customs, and challenges of the Pawnee people during a time of significant change and upheaval in the American West.
