Nuttall's Journal of Travels Into the Arkansa Territory October 2, 1818-February 18, 1820 - Thomas Nuttall - Bog

This 1821 work by English botanist Thomas Nuttall is the complete journal of his exploration of much of the territory acquired by the United States in the Louisiana Purchase. Filled with detailed descriptions of the plants, animals, and geology of the regions, as well as observations of the Native American tribes living therein, this work is a valuable source of information about the land and people in these areas, as well as the impact of white settlement on the regions of Arkansas and what is now Oklahoma.
