Excerpt from Narrative Journal of Travels: Through the Northwestern Regions of the United States, Extending From Detroit Through the Great Chain of American Lakes, to the Source of the Mississippi RiverI beg you will consider it, not only as a proof of my anxiety to be serviceable in the station occupied, but also, as a tribute of individual regard, for those exertions which have been made, during your admi nistration of the War Department, to develope the physical character and resources of all parts of our country, - to the patronage it has extended to the cause of science,-to' the protection it has afforded to a very extensive line of frontier settlements, by stretching our cordon of military posts, through the territories of the most remote and hostile tribes of savages, - and particularly, to the notice it has be stowed upon one of the humblest cultivators of natu ral science.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Scenes and Adventures in the Semi-Alpine Region of the Ozark Mountains of Missouri and Arkansas: Which Were First Traversed by De Soto, in 1541These early adventures in the Ozarks comprehend my first exploratory effort in the great area of the West. To traverse the plains and mountain elevations west of the Mississippi, which had once echoed the tramp of the squadrons of De Soto - to range over hills, and through rugged defiles, which he had once searched in the hope of finding mines of gold and silver rivalling those of Mexico and Peru; and this, too, coming as a climax to the panorama of a long, long journey from the East - constituted an attainment of youthful exultation and self-felicitation, which might have been forgotten with its termination. But the incidents are perceived to have had a value of a different kind. They supply the first attempt to trace the track of the Spanish cavaliers west of the Mississippi. The name of De Soto is inseparably connected with the territorial area of Missouri and Arkansas, which he was the first European to penetrate, and in the latter of which he died.Four-and-thirty years have passed away, since the travels here brought to view, were terminated. They comprise a period of exciting and startling events in our history, social and political.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
