"Scenes and Adventures in the Semi-Alpine Region of the Ozark Mountains of Missouri and Arkansas" by Henry Rowe Schoolcraft is an adventure story set in the 1800s where the author travels through the Ozark Mountains, describing the region's beauty, minerals, and reminders of De Soto's exploration. Schoolcraft's writing shows how tough it was to explore the American frontier back then, reflecting on past journeys and expressing excitement about exploring De Soto's path, detailing challenges faced on the Mississippi River, including struggling against the current and observing the nature along the riverbanks as it sets the stage for the tough exploration as a whole. This creates an idea of both the natural world and the human effort required when they try to understand it.
