Book excerpt: Excerpt from Narrative of a Journey Down the Ohio and Mississippi in 1789-90 Very addition to our stock of information touching early western history and adventure, and of the pie neer customs and habits of a hundred years ago, deserves a kindly reception. The following narrative of a journey down the Ohio and Mississippi, in 1789-90, was not re duced to writing till 1849, after a lapse of sixty years; but an unusually fine memory enabled Major Forman to relate such incidents of his trip as left a. Lasting impres sion upon him, alike with interest and general accuracy. A sketch of the writer will give us a better insight into his trustworthiness and character. Major Forman, the third son of Samuel and Helena Denise Forman, was born at Middletown Point, Monmouth county, New Jersey, July 21, 1765. He was too young to participate in the Revolutionary war, during the stir ring period of 1776 to 1780, in New Jersey; but his elder brothers, Jonathan and Denise, were prominent and active throughout the great struggle. Major Forman has recorded some incidents of the war that occurred in his region of New Jersey, and within his own knowledge.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Four Months in a Sneak-Box: A Boat Voyage of 2600 Miles Down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, and Along the Gulf of Mexico Eighteen months ago the author gave to the public his "Voyage of the Paper Canoe: - a geographical journey of 2500 miles from Quebec to the Gulf of Mexico, during the Years 1874-5." The kind reception by the American press of the author's first journey to the great southern sea, and its republication in Great Britain and in France within so short a time of its appearance in the United States, have encouraged him to give the public a companion volume, - "Four Months in A Sneak-Box, - which is a relation of the experiences of a second cruise to the Gulf of Mexico, but by a different route from that followed in the "Voyage of the Paper Canoe."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of a Tour to the Western Country: Through the States of Ohio and Kentucky; A Voyage Down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, and a Trip Through the Mississippi Territory, and Part of West Florida We devote the fourth volume of our series of Western Travels to the reprint of Fortescue Cuming's Sketches of a Tour to the Western Country - the tour having been made in 1807-1809, the publication itself issuing from a Pittsburg press in 1810. Of Cuming himself, we have no information save such as is gleaned from his book. He appears to have been an Englishman of culture and refinement, who had travelled extensively in other lands - notably the West Indies, France, Switzerland, and Italy. It is certain that he journeyed to good purpose, with an intelligent, open mind, free from local prejudices, and with trained habits of observation. Cuming was what one may call a good traveller - he endured the inconveniences, annoyances, and vicissitudes of the road, especially in a new and rough country, with equanimity and philosophic patience, deliberately making the best of each days happenings, thus proving himself an experienced and agreeable man of the world. The journeys narrated were taken during two succeeding years. The first, in January, 1807, was a pedestrian tour from Philadelphia to Pittsburg. Arriving in the latter city on the second of February, after twenty-seven days upon the road, the remainder of the winter, the spring, and the early summer were passed at Pittsburg. On the eighteenth of July following, our traveller took boat from Pittsburg, and made his way down the Ohio to the Kentucky entrepot at Maysville - where he arrived the thirtieth of the month.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Valley of the Mississippi Illustrated: In a Series of Views Embracing Pictures of the Principal Cities and Towns, Public Buildings and Remarkable and Picturesque Scenery, on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers Under its recently granted charter, the City is included in an irregular pentagon, having three of its angles westward, in the rear, and one at its north and another at its southern extremity on the Mississippi, along the channel of which its line runs about five miles; its farthest westward angle is distant about a mile and-a half from the river. The compact portion of the City is nearly central in the area of its limits and presents a beautiful view, when beheld from the Opposite shore in Illinois, or from various other points in approaching it. The ﬂeet of steam boats and other craft lining the landing for a mile - the white fronted warehouses extending for an equal length - the dense mass of buildings in the rear, seemingly mingling with the horizon in the distance, with here and there a church tower, a bellfry, or a steeple looming to the Skies, exhibit a panorama of exceeding beauty, that bursts upon the vision of the delighted beholder, as if it sprung from the wilderness at the will of a magician. Dividing the Mississippi for nearly a mile, in front of the upper part of the City, is Bloody Island, appropriately so called, from its having been the theatre of several tragic affairs of honor.
