Schoolcraft shares the results of his mission in this book. He traveled to the upper reaches of the Mississippi to settle continuing troubles between the Ojibwe and Dakota nations. During the voyage, Schoolcraft took the opportunity to explore the region, making the first accurate map of the Lake District around western Lake Superior. He also discovered on his voyage the true headwaters of the Mississippi River in Lake Itasca.

Scenes and Adventures in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri and Arkansas
Scenes and Adventures in the Semi-Alpine Region of the Ozark Mountains of Missouri and Arkansas is the first written account of a European-American exploration of the Ozarks. "These early adventures in the Ozarks comprehend my first exploratory effort in the great area of the West. To traverse the plains and mountain elevations west of the Mississippi, which had once echoed the tramp of the squadrons of De Soto—to range over hills, and through rugged defiles, which he had once searched in the hope of finding mines of gold and silver rivalling those of Mexico and Peru; and this, too, coming as a climax to the panorama of a long, long journey from the East—constituted an attainment of youthful exultation and self-felicitation, which might have been forgotten with its termination. But the incidents are perceived to have had a value of a different kind. They supply the first attempt to trace the track of the Spanish cavaliers west of the Mississippi. The name of De Soto is inseparably connected with the territorial area of Missouri and Arkansas, which he was the first European to penetrate, and in the latter of which he died."
30 Years with the Indian Tribes on the American Frontiers
Personal Memoirs Of A Residence Of Thirty Years With The Indian Tribes On The American Frontiers is Henry Schoolcraft's autobiographical account of his career as an Indian Agent. "Ten years ago I returned from the area of the Mississippi Valley to New York, my native State, after many years' residence and exploratory travels of that quarter of the Union. Having become extensively known, personally, and as an author, and my name having been associated with several distinguished actors in our western history, the wish has often been expressed to see some record of the events as they occurred. In yielding to this wish, it must not be supposed that the writer is about to submit an autobiography of himself; nor yet a methodical record of his times–tasks which, were he ever so well qualified for, he does not at all aspire to, and which, indeed, he has not now the leisure, if he had the desire, to undertake."

Nahrungsergänzung im Selbstversuch
Der Mensch kann bei ausgewogener Ernährung, maßvollem Einsatz von Sonnenlicht und ausreichender Bewegung seinem Körper fast alles zuführen und bereitstellen, was für ein weitestgehend krankheitsfreies Leben und ein starkes Immunsystem notwendig ist. Aber eben nur fast. Und nicht immer ist es möglich oder praktikabel, die Regeln einer «ausgewogenen Ernährung» im täglichen Zeitplan unterzubringen. Manches muss dabei selbst bei größter Aufmerksamkeit trotzdem im Mangel verharren. So können in einer halben Stunde in der Sonne gut 10.000 Internationale Einheiten Vitamin D3 produziert werden, ein Zwei-Tagesbedarf. Das ist aber schon im Sommer nicht immer machbar, und im Winter rein biophysikalisch unmöglich. Wie viel ist also im Sommer und wie viel im Winter zu ergänzen, um ein stabiles Immunsystem zu erhalten? Lebertran würde den Spiegel auch stabilisieren, aber den verträgt nicht jeder auf nüchternen Magen. Darf man freiverkäufliches Vitamin D3 aus der Apotheke oder aus Drogerien einfach so zu sich nehmen? Wie steht es um die anderen Nahrungsergänzungsmittel? Was braucht der Körper in welchen Mengen und wo bzw. in welchen Lebensmitteln ist alles noch ausreichend enthalten? Lorenz Borsche hat – ärztlich kontrolliert – den Selbstversuch gemacht und berichtet von seinen Erfahrungen.
