It might be said that the French explorers learnt how to make boats suitable for the coastal waters, rivers and lakes when they were at the great Lakes. They decided to build small sailing- ships to travel the entire length of the Missouri and the Mississippi River to New Orleans on the golf of Mexico. They built <span>native birch-bark canoes and large rafts.</span>
<span>Early European explorers to the Americas likely experienced emotions including awe at the vast "new" environment, amazement at meeting "others," the thrill of the unknown, concern for personal safety, desire for personal reward, and longing for their homeland and those left behind. Written and pictorial records attributed to Europeans provide the bulk of the records of these early travels. Impressions of natives as well as Native impressions of Europeans are frequently framed in the narratives of the explorers. Examination of these records indicates the cautious and curious nature of first encounters.</span>
