About This Book

The author recounts an exploratory expedition through the Ozark highlands of Missouri and Arkansas, detailing river and overland travel, encounters with frontier settlements, and efforts to trace the route of earlier Spanish explorers. Observations blend travel anecdotes and natural-history description with systematic geological and mineralogical investigation of local lead and other mines, and vivid accounts of rivers, caves, and rugged valleys. The journal records practical hardships, encounters with local inhabitants, and reflections on antiquities and topography, and is accompanied by scientific appendices summarizing regional mineral resources and geological structure.
