Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Summer Journey in the West This little book assumes to be nothing more than a note book of all that passed before the observation of the author, during a summer tour of four thousand miles through the great lakes; the prairies of Illinois; the rivers Illinois, Mississippi, and Ohio; and over the Alleghany mountains to New York. Since she has been ´urged by friends to print,´ the author has added to her notes and letters, some little information regarding the western States, in hopes her book may be of use to future tourists and emigrants, who will here find an account of the distances, prices and conveyances, throughout the author´s route. Anxious to guard against errors, information acquired upon the road, has been compared with the best Gazeteers. Accuracy, in newly settled country, is difficult, and accounts differ much; still the author trusts the traveller who may honor her by taking her book for his guide, will not be far mis-led.
