Sixty miles from contentment. Traveling the nineteenth-century american interior

Dunlop, M.H.

Beskrivning:

The American interior, in the first half of the nineteenth century, was the place to be. Five centuries of exploration and encounter had left only the North and South poles and continental interiors unvisited; early in the nineteenth century, a few explorers aimed for the poles, but ordinary travelers set out for the Ohio and Mississippi valleys... This study is a collection of travel books written by those ordinary travelers. People of nearly every social attitude and political persuasion, every level of education and privilige. In english.
