Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the expedition of Major Stephen H. Long and his team through the American wilderness in 1823. The author meticulously documents the groupâ� �s journey from Philadelphia to the source of the St. Peterâ� �s River, a waterway that flows into the Mississippi. The expedition was undertaken at the behest of the United States government, seeking knowledge about this vast and uncharted territory. The book is not simply a travelogue, but delves into the rich natural history of the lands traversed. The author, a trained geologist, meticulously describes the various geological formations encountered along the route, from the primitive rocks of the Alleghenies to the coal formations near Wheeling. This detailed examination of the landscape adds an engaging layer of scientific inquiry to the narrative. Beyond the geological insights, the author also provides a glimpse into the lives of the Native American tribes encountered during the journey. He describes their customs, traditions, and interactions with the expedition members. The book also touches upon the burgeoning fur trade, a key economic force in the region at the time. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the American landscape and the people who inhabited it in the early 19th century. The author's meticulous observations and insightful commentary provide a valuable historical record of this period of exploration and expansion in the United States.
