In the second half of the 19th century, the Dominicans started founding several foreign missions in Amazonia, in particular in the Araguaia River territory: Mato Grosso, Brazil. Because the order was based in Toulouse, French Dominican missionaries were routinely sent to visit these outposts. Many of them have left some records of their trips there. This study will focus on three examples among many others, written between the 1890s and the 1950s by Étienne-Marie Gallais, Marie-Hilaire Tapie and Maurice Lelong. This comparison aims at showing how, beyond the purely «professional» objective of their travels, literature finds its way into the narratives of these men of God. The point here is not to study the contents itself of the texts, but rather to look into the publishing strategies and the authorial stances that ends up giving a genuine literary quality to these publications.
