| Description | "Journal of an Episcopalian Missionary's Tour to Green Bay, 1834" by Jackson Kemper, is a first person account of his journey from Buffalo, New York, to Green Bay by way of the Great Lakes. Kemper details in particular his stops in Mackinac and Green Bay, the trials of life on the frontier, the status of missionary schools, and describes the Indian tribes he encountered. Kemper went on to become the first missionary bishop of the Northwest (1835-1859), which at the time included Wisconsin, Indiana, Missouri, Iowa, and Minnesota, and later the first diocesan bishop (1854-1870).
