A Pilgrimage in America

Light foxing to the edges of the page block. Scattered foxing throughout the book. Minor wear to the dust jacket. This title in the publisher's Americana Classics series is a reprint of the first edition published in English in 1828. The subject matter is summarized in the subtitle: Leading to the Discovery of the Sources of the Mississippi and Bloody River; with a Description of the Whole Course of the Former, and of the Ohio. From the dust jacket: "This is the only account of its kind of the upper Mississippi frontier as seen through the eyes of a cultured and educated cosmopolitan." That would be the author, who took leave from a successful judiciary career in Italy to explore the American West for himself, which had captured the imagination of Europeans in the early eighteenth century. 545 pages, illustrated with three plates of Indian ornaments and a fold-out map of the Mississippi River from its source to the Gulf of Mexico.
