In the spring of 1849 young Philadelphia physician S. W.
Woodhouse, an avid ornithologist, was appointed surgeon-naturalist
of two expeditions, one in 1849 and another in 1850, to survey the
Creek-Cherokee boundary in Indian Territory. A keen observer of
frontier life and society, Woodhouse wrote down in three journals
detailed entries on his travels, including information on the flora
and fauna as well as his impressions of the places he passed and
their people, notably early Indian Territory personalities such as
the McIntoshes and the Perrymans of the Creek Indians; Elijah Hicks
of the Cherokees; Tallee and Clermont III of the Osages; and
Oh-ha-wah-kee of the Comanches. To aid the modern reader, editors
John S. Tomer and Michael J. Brodhead have supplied a detailed
introduction and extensive, clarifying notes.
