Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels Through the Interior Parts of North America, in the Years 1766, 1767, 1768 That future has arrived; the narration of each succeed ing Traveller has borne testimony, always involuntary, and sometimes reluctant testimony, to the accuracy of the gen eral knowledge of the glorious West which Carver obtained from its savage denizens during his residence among them, while none have presented more graphic descriptions ofthose scenes on which his own vision rested than himself; and, still more recently, the pictorial illustrations of Catlin, and the actual presence among us of delegations of the swarthy warriors of those tribes in which he had been for a while domesticated, have stamped upon his accounts of their manners and customs undeniable evidence of their truth, and imparted to them a freshness ofinterest that will amply compensate to the general reader the time he may beguile in their perusal; while those who hold proprietary rights in the Carver grant, or, having the world before them where to choose, look anxiously towards the West, may gleam from these pages much that may gladden the pres ent, and array the future in the bright hues of well-founded hope.

Excerpt: ... during a three yeai's voyage made by the Tyfiari fleet ifi the service of King Solomon. He asserts on the authority of JosephUs, that the p6rt at which this embarkation Was made hy in the Mediterranean. The fleet, he adds, went in quest of efepha'h'ts teeth and peacocks to the western Coast of Africa, which is Tarsifh; theii to Ophir for. gold, which is Haite, or the island of Hifpaniola; and in the latter opinion he is supported by Columbus, who, when he discovered that island, thought he could trace the furnaces In which the gold was refined. To these migrations, which preceded the Christian aera, he adds many others of a later date from different nations, but these I have not time to enumerate. For the fame reason I am obliged to pass ovef numberless writers on this subject; and shall content myself with only giving the sentiments of two or three more. The first of these is Pierre De Charlevoix, a Frenchman, who in his journal of a voyage to North America, made so lately as the year 1720, has recapitulated the opinions of a variety of authors on this head, to which he has subjoined his own OWti conjectures. But the latter cannot without some difficulty be extracted, as they are so interwoven' with tfhe passages fie has quoted, that it requites much attention tio discriminate them. He seems to allow that America might have received its first! inhabitants from Tattaty and Hyrcanfa. This he confirms, by observing that the lions and tigers which are found in' the former, must have come from those countries, and whose passage serves for a proof that the two hemispheres join to the northward of Asia., He then draws a corroboration of this argument, from a story he fays he has often heard related by Father Grollon, a French Jesuit, as..

Download or read book Transatlantic Literary Ecologies written by Kevin Hutchings and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-11-18 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opening a dialogue between ecocriticism and transatlantic studies, this collection shows how the two fields inform, complement, and complicate each other. The editors situate the volume in its critical contexts by providing a detailed literary and historical overview of nineteenth-century transatlantic socioenvironmental issues involving such topics as the contemporary fur and timber trades, colonialism and agricultural "improvement," literary discourses on conservation, and the consequences of industrial capitalism, urbanization, and urban environmental activism. The chapters move from the broad to the particular, offering insights into Romanticism’s transatlantic discourses on nature and culture, examining British Victorian representations of nature in light of their reception by American writers and readers, providing in-depth analyses of literary forms such as the adventure novel, travel narratives, and theological and scientific writings, and bringing transatlantic and ecocritical perspectives to bear on classic works of nineteenth-century American literature. By opening a critical dialogue between these two vital areas of scholarship, Transatlantic Literary Ecologies demonstrates some of the key ways in which Western environmental consciousness and associated literary practices arose in the context of transatlantic literary and cultural exchanges during the long nineteenth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first real look at the Canadian West Harmon's Journal--the first published English-language journal written in B.C.-is a lively, engaging story that, unlike other early journals, captures the rough-and-tumble life of a fur trader and explorer in the western Canada of 200 years ago.
