In the 1820s the Far West was roved by American trappers and some military expedition for exploration purposes, but no settlers.
In March 1833 a Methodist periodical, The Christian Advocate and Journal, published a letter sent by an Indian Agent reporting that in 1831 several northwestern Indians arrived in St. Louis had asked that the White's man "Book of Heaven" and competent instructors be sent to them.
So, religious motives provoked a further drive towards those territories. The letter was to be a powerful encouragement for devout Evangelical Christians to settle there as missionaries, especially in Oregon.
Those people lead the way and was soon followed by businessmen and traders, growing the knowledge and the interest for the Oregon Country and other
part of continent west of the Rockies among the people living eastward of Mississippi. The missions which had established there served as point of reference for the increasing flow of migrant people who aimed to settle in those lands, providing them with advices first aids etc. and helping them to build up a new life in the spirit of what was termed "The Manifest Destiny of American Nation"
