Written in 1854, "Exploration of the Red River of Louisiana, in the
Year 1852" is a more detailed account of the United States army
expedition briefly described in author R.B. Macy's book "Thirty
Years of Army Life on the Border." The military had tried and
failed several times before to explore the Red River's uncharted
waters before finally launching this successful mission.
"Exploration of the Red River" reads like a diary but contains all
the necessary information for a report on the expedition. Macy
included descriptions of the Indians encountered, wildlife, plant
life, scenery, attached waterways and lakes, and appendicies of the
courses and distances charted, minerals, fossils, animals, plants,
and Indian languages. This is a highly valuable and detailed text
for anyone researching 19th century U.S. expansion and discovery of
territories.
