John Bradbury's adventures in the wilds of North America brings to
life the rugged landscapes bordering the Missouri and Mississippi
rivers as they were many years ago. In this astounding history of
the United States, Bradbury traverses what is now the Deep South of
the USA, plus the area west of Illinois then known as simply 'The
Western Territories'. His recollections are authentic and written
plainly, offering readers a look at how the young nation was at the
time, both in terms of its rural landscape and the settlers. Many
of the settlers or explorers traversing the USA at the time were
either illiterate or barely literate. As such, John Bradbury's
ability to write cogently speaks of his value as an educated man
venturing to the vast frontiers of North America; although a
naturalist by profession, he joined the Pacific Fur Company.
Through this employ, Bradbury was able to traverse the Missouri
river and write his experiences, while also sending seeds of exotic
and undocumented plants to his son.
A thorough, detailed description of travel along the Mississippi
Valley, done with an eye toward settling in New Orleans.
Considerable commentary on life in that part of America.
