Letters From the West: Comprising a Tour Through the Western Country, and a Residence of Two Summers in the States of Ohio and Kentucky; Originally Written in Letters to a Brother (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Letters From the West: Comprising a Tour Through the Western Country, and a Residence of Two Summers in the States of Ohio and Kentucky; Originally Written in Letters to a Brother
The Author of the following pages, having been employed for many years in business which necessarily required him to travel through the principal part of the United States, and having spent much time in the Western Territory of these States, he was induced to believe that it would be no small benefit to his countrymen to give a general descriptive view of it.
The greater part of these letters were originally written to a brother, without the most distant view to their publica tion; they were generally written in haste, and have gone through very little, and some of them no alteration from the originals. But such as they are, they are now before the public; and it is most sincerely hoped they will prove, in some small degree, beneficial [iv] to those for whom they are particularly designed the great number of emigrants who are constantly moving to that country. Whether the delineations will be found correct, and the lights and shadows judicious, must be left to the plain, unostentatious observer, and to the acute, fastidious and acrimonious connoisseur.
