History of Papinville 1673 to 1820
This week the time line will start about the explorers that we have records on that came to this part of Missouri. The first explorers were the Frenchmen. The time line will begin.
1673 Pere Marquette, a Frenchman explored two Indian villages. The Great Osage and the Little Osage.
1715 French explorers reached the Big Osage River (area of Bates County).
1785-1794 Fort Corondelet was built
1801-1802 Chief Pawhuska visits Thomas Jefferson and went to New York Missionary Society to see if they could get missionaries to come and educate their people.
1806 Zebulon Pike visited the Little Osage site. This site was located on the south side of the Osage River which is now Vernon County. The Grand Osage site was located on the north fork of the Osage River which is known as the Marais des Cygnes River.
1816 William Waldo was sent to be the agent to trade with the Osage Indians.
1816 William Waldo was a government interpreter at a factory on the Marais des Cygnes River what is now Papinville.
1820 Pawhuska (known as Chief White Hair) son of Chief Pawhuska the great, went back to Washington to ask president Monroe if he could send them some help to educate his people.
Next week the time line will be about Harmony Mission 1821 to 1858 starting of the border and Civil War in Papinville. Papinville has a lot of history. We have to keep history going so the next generations will know the history of the area. If any one is interested in this history you are welcome to join our association. The map at the bottom of this time line is a map of The Land of the Osage. It gives you an idea as to where the two villages were located. Until next week.
