Well written and entertaining, A Canoe Voyage up the Minnay Sotor,
describes the extensive travels of George William Featherstonhaugh
in Wisconsin, Minnesota and various southern states in 1835 and
1837. Featherstonhaugh, an Englishman by birth, was a geologist by
profession and well qualified to comment on the American scene. By
the time of his travels in the 1830s, he had lived in the United
States for nearly thirty years. He was also a linguist with an
attentive ear for speech. In performing his duties as a geologist
for the United States, he visited remote sections of the frontier
that few other trained observers had yet an opportunity to see. In
these two volumes Featherstonhaugh chronicles two separate
expeditions--a geological expedition in 1835 of the area from Lake
Michigan west to the Coteau des Prairies at the headwaters of the
Minnesota River, and a tour in 1837 of the mineral lands of
Wisconsin, Missouri, Georgia, and the western Carolinas.
