Gasconade

I ascended about six hundred leagues without perceiving a diminution either in its width or rapidity.

The principal rivers which empty into the Missouri are, as you ascend, the Gasconade, the River of the Osages, the two Chariterns, the Great River, the River des Canipes, Nichanin, Batoni, the Great and Little Nimaha, the River Platte, the River des Sioux, and Lokikor.

As far as twenty-five leagues above its junction with the Mississippi are to be found different settlements of American families, that is, at Bonhomme and Femme Osage, etc.

Beyond this, its banks are inhabited only by savage nations, the Great and Little Osages, settled one hundred and twenty leagues on the river of that name, the Canipes, the Atos, the Panies, the Loups or Pants Mahas, the Mahas, the Pogas, the Ricars.
