Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
This reproduction was printed from a digital file created at the Library of Congress as part of an extensive scanning effort started with a generous donation from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. The Library is pleased to offer much of its public domain holdings free of charge online and at a modest price in this printed format. Seeing these older volumes from our collections rediscovered by new generations of readers renews our own passion for books and scholarship.

Hardbound. Etat : Very Good. Reprint Edition. Description: This is a volume from the Time-Life Classics of the Old West series, and is a facsimile reprint of the original 1835 edition Irving, an 'artist with the pencil' gives a vivid account of an expedition to the country west of Arkansas set aside for emigrating Indians. Includes a map. Irving was the first professional writer to write about the west. He kept a daily record of their ten week excursion to the 'Far West', by which he meant present-day Oklahoma. On his return he wrote this record from his chronicle. His vivid description of the rivers, plains, and forests on the journey are unparalleled in Western writing. Even more valuable is his reporting on life among the carefree U.S. Army Rangers, with whom the party traveled for protection, and what he says about the Indians they encountered. This is one of the few firsthand accounts of frontier life in the early nineteenth century, and a prime source for understanding the relations between Indian and whites before their competition for land brought on warfare.

Laid-in is the publisher's introductory letter, which says in part: "Irving kept a daily record during their 10-week excursion. Irving's vivid descriptions of the rivers, plains and forests on the journey are unparalleled in Western writing. Even more valuable is his reporting on life among the carefree U.S. Army Rangers -- with whom the party traveled for protection -- and what he has to say about the Indians they encountered. A TOUR ON THE PRAIRIES is one of the few firsthand accounts of frontier life in the early 19th Century and a prime source for understanding the relations between the Indians and the whites before competition for the land brought on chronic warfare.".
