Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Thomas Nuttall was a self-educated botanist who came to the United
States from Liverpool in 1808. This 1821 work is the only surviving
complete journal of one of his many American scientific
explorations. Covering his travels in Arkansas and what is now
Oklahoma from October, 1818-February, 1820, the Journal follows
Nuttall's route from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, down the Ohio
River to its mouth, then down the Mississippi River to the Arkansas
Post, and up the Arkansas River with a side trip to the Red River.
Filled with valuable details on the plants, animals, and geology of
the region, as well as penetrating observations of the resident
native tribes, the military establishment at Fort Smith, the
arrival of the first governor of Arkansas Territory, and the
beginnings of white settlement, this is a valuable source of
information regarding the land and people in the areas of the
Louisiana Purchase.
