"This commercial enterprise, although a financial failure, resulted the first foreign account of Spanish California by a literate and observant French trader, who, while trying to sell his goods, visited most of the missions, presidios, and pueblos of Alta California, and wrote the best contemporary account of the region. He had a splendid opportunity to observe affairs and took advantage of it, being the first outsider to become intimately acquaninted with the the thriving area. The ship Héros also visited Valparaiso, the Galápagos Islands, Hawaii, Macao, and Java" (The Hill Collection of Pacific Voyages). Il Duhaut-Cilly, vissuto tra il 1790 e il 1849, effettuò i suoi viaggi attraverso il mondo fra il 1826 e il 1829; lasciò varie altre relazioni odeporiche, tra cui una di viaggio in Russia.
