TIXIER, Victor. Voyage aux prairies Osages, Louisiana et Missouri, 1839-40. Clermont-Ferrand & Paris, Perol & Roret, 1844.
Rare account of a voyage through the south-eastern part of the United States, with special attention to the Osage Indians, by Victor Tixier. Tixier left France on November 22, 1839, and arrived in New Orleans on January 27, 1840. He lively describes the river Mississippi, the vast savannahs, alligators, Choctaw Indians, plantations and slaves he encountered. Originally Tixier had planned to travel from New Orleans by steamer to Chicago, the Great Lakes, the Niagara Falls, Albany, and on to New York, from where he would leave for France again. However, on his way to St. Louis, he met Major Chouteau, who invited him to visit the Osages, whom he had lived with for several years, and to hunt Buffaloes with them. Tixier gladly accepted, travelled over the river Missouri to Independence and from there over the river Osage to Nion-Choux. He stayed for several months in this Osage village, where he learned about their customs, culture, and language. His ethnographical descriptions are of great value, and a small vocabulary of the Osaga language is added in the present work. Finally, he went hunting buffaloes with the Indians in a valley in Arkansas, where enormous herds pass twice a year, in spring on their way to Canada and in autumn on their way back to Texas. In July 1840, Tixier decided to go back to Missouri again. From there, he travelled via Cincinnati and Pittsburgh to New York, where he left for France on 26 September. He arrived in Le Havre 26 October 1840.
