"Extensive travels, in the early years of the Republic, through the southern frontiers and among the Creeks and Cherokees. A work of high character well meriting its wide esteem" - Howes.
"Unequalled for the vivid picturesqueness of its descriptions of nature, scenery, and productions. It is written in the spirit of the old travellers" - Sabin.
