Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

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.

Covers Nuttall's travels between late 1818 and early 1820.
