1835 1ed Winter in the West Hoffman Travel INDIANS Native Americans Frontier 2v



"One of the most valuable of all travel books about the American frontier."--Hubach.



Charles Fenno Hoffman's first book about his journey through Pennsylvania, the old Northwest, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia. His comments focus predominately on the scenery and his experiences with the local populations of both settlers and Native Americans.

"The numerous incidents of personal intercourse with Indians of various western tribes, the interesting details which the author's ardent curiosity regarding them drew from persons familiar with their life and habits, and the voluminous notes appended to these volumes, extracted from works not easily accessible, entitle them to a high rank in aboriginal literature" - Field.
