Fearon, Sketches of America (1818); Morris
Birkbeck, Letters from Illinois (1818); John Bradbury, Travels in
the Interior of America in the Years 1809, 1810, and 1811"
(1819); Thomas Hulme, "Journal made during a Tour in the Western
Countries of America, 1818-1819" (1828); and Michael Chevalier,
"Society, Manners, and Politics in the United States" (1839).
Copies of early editions of some of these works will be found in
most large libraries. But the reader is happily not dependent on
this resource. Almost all of the really important books of the
kind are reprinted, with introductions and explanatory matter, in
Reuben G. Thwaites, "Early Western Travels, 1714-1846" (32 vols.,
1904-07), which is one of our chief collections of historical
materials.
