Captain Basil Hall (1788 1844) was a Scottish seaman and travel
writer. After attending the Royal High School in Edinburgh he
joined the Navy in 1802, and was appointed captain in 1814. He
served on many diplomatic and scientific naval missions, and on his
retirement from the Navy began to publish accounts of his
experiences, based on his journals. These volumes, first published
in 1829, contain his detailed and controversial account of his
journey across America and Canada between 1827 and 1828. Hall
provides a fascinating and engaging description of social
conditions, political structures and political tensions in Canada
and America in the period, while also illustrating contemporary
English prejudices concerning American society. Volume 3 contains
his description of Washington D.C. and his journeys through South
Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, Alabama and along the Mississippi
river. Hall also includes an analysis of slavery and cotton farming
in the southern states.
