Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of Western Adventure: Containing an Account of the Most Interesting Incidents Connected With the Settlement of the West, From 1755 to 1794 Several years ago, when the author Was younger and more connai dent, than at present, he was seduced into the perpetration of a book which was intended for a novel. It never attracted much attention, and has long since been forgotten, except by the immediate acquaino tattoos of the author. Upon the appearance of the present work, to which the title and other circumstances unconnected with the merit of, the execution, will probably give a more extensive circulation, the recollection of Camden, will probably be revived with many readers in the West, and give rise to a suspicion that the present work is as truly an offspring of the imagination as the former. A simple denial of the charge would, probably, gain but little credit. I wish therefore, to refer distinctly to the sources from which the materials for the present work have been derived, in order to give every one who chooses, an Opportunity of satisfying himself as to its authenticity.
