Not surprisingly, some of these descripons contradict each other, e.g. the color of the river water and the amount of growth. Nonetheless, they can be interesng in comparison to our percepons today. In 1714, the first Europeans to ascend the Missouri River and reach Plae described it as an open prairie stretching about 2.75 miles along the Missouri immediately south of the Missouri-Plae Confluence. Victor Collot, a French military officer who fought beside the Americans during the Revoluon, explored the Ohio, Mississippi and Missouri Rivers in 1795-96, taking extensive notes on distances and (interesngly) forficaons. His journal was published in 1805, the same year he died in Paris: [The Plate River (Collot’s spelling)] is as large as the Missouri, and runs with such rapidity, that oars and poles are insufficient to resist the current; the only mode of going up is by towing. But to use the towing-line, the waters must be low; and then this expedient is dangerous, on account of the quicksands, against which boats have somemes struck, and disappeared with the whole crew. These sands may be disnguished, as we have already observed at a considerable distance, by their reflecng surface, which is occasioned by the humidity of the soil and the acon of the sun. Collot was, in fact, arrested for spying by the Spanish when he arrived in New Orleans. People sll enjoy debang what he was up to. When Lewis and Clark passed the Plae on July 21, 1804, Lewis wrote (using his own unique spelling, capitalizaon and punctuaon): the parcles of [the Plae River’s] sand being remarkably small and light it is easily boied up and is hurried by this impetuous torrent in large masses from place to place in with irristable forse, collecng and forming sandbars in the course of a few hours which as suddenly disapated to form others and give place perhaps to the deepest channel of the river. where it enters the Missouri it’s superior force changes and directs the courant of that river against it’s northern bank where it is compressed within a channel less than one third of the width it has just before occupyed. it does not furnish the Missouri with it’s colouring maer as has been asserted by some, but it throws into it immense quanes of sand and gives a celerity to it’s courant of which it abatyes but lile unl it’s juncon with the Mississippy.
