Book excerpt: Excerpt from Exploratory Travels Through the Western Territories of North America: Comprising a Voyage From St. Louis, on the Mississippi, to the Source of That River, and a Journey Through the Interior of Louisiana, and the North-Eastern Provinces of New Spain The material progress that has characterized the career of our country has nowhere been more marked than in those sections of it that were the scenes of Pike's travels and adventures. The great silent river of his day, flowing through a wilderness rarely trodden save by the foot of the savage, is one of the main arteries of a colossal commerce. Mighty cities adorn its banks. The roar of the Falls of St. Anthony, where he secured from the Indians land for a post, is lost in the ever increasing hum of industry. The buffalo has passed forever from the plains the idle desert waves in wheat fields, and rustles in seas of corn. P0t0s1 s wealth seems beggarly by the side of the stores of precious metal taken from the Rocky Mountains within thirty years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels in North America, Vol. 1 of 2: In the Years 1827 and 1828 The chief object I, had in view in visiting Ame rica was to see things with my own eyes, in order to ascertain, by personal inspection, how far the sentiments prevalent in England with respect to that country were correct or otherwise. To avoid all undue influence, I considered it best to defer reading the works of preceding travellers, until I should have formed my own opi nions on the subject; but I found so much plea sure during the journey, from the freshness of original and unbiassed observation, that on my return I resolved to persevere in this self-denial somewhat longer, that my narrative also might be derived, as far as possible, from those local sources of information which had fallen within the reach of my own inquiries.

Download or read book The History of North America Vol 1 written by Alfred Brittain and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of North America, Vol. 1: Discovery and Exploration The statement that we have quoted in our opening para graph but voiced the need that was appreciated throughout the scholastic world. All students desired*a comprehen sive history of America. The stimulus given to historical writing by the lack of such a work found result in the activity of many authors, but, curiously enough, not in at tempts to produce the work needed, but to supply mate rials from which it might be constructed. For example, the last quarter of the nineteenth century was prolific in historical monographs and treatises. Hundreds of well equipped students with valuable resources at their command collected and gave to the world the product of their re search - the data buried in source material. These mono graphic publications, usually written in the form of theses, were of a nature to preclude their wide circulation; they were strictly academic in style and were of no interest to the general reader and, because of their restricted field, of comparatively narrow value to the historian. Yet this monographic literature must not be underestimated, for it was of great value to the limited number of historians seeking information upon the particular subject treated by the monographist. But the theses did not go far toward solving the problem of the production of a comprehensive history. The treatises were a step further in that direction. They were, it is true, limited in scope, but that limitation was not so destructive to their popularity as in the case of the thesis literature, for they were broader in treatment and had more or less perspective. The majority of such publi cations were accurate and had in them elements of interest. Textbooks were published in abundance, but from their nature they cannot be included among comprehensive his tories, nor can those standard and scholarly works upon limited historical periods, which have at infrequent intervals during the last twenty-five years been welcomed by students. During the period under consideration a few general his tories have been published. These are confessedly sketchy, and, with only two exceptions, they have not been written by men of standing among scholars. In these two in stances, the authors have been handicapped by the limits of space and by the fact that no one man is able to write from his own knowledge of the details of American history in the whole, and within the limits imposed by the com mercial necessities of publication produce by his own re search a comprehensive history of the United States, to say nothing of that of North America. A writer undertaking the task must depend on secondary authorities; and, as a rule, he incorporates most of their errors along with their correct statements of fact. No more glaring example of this fallibility of historical writers attempting a task too large can be found than in a recent pretentious general his tory in the compilation of which the author was obliged by the circumstances of production to depend largely on secondary authorities, with the result that more than five hundred errors have been discovered in a single volume.

Was, no such consideration existed to check his purpose. His two partners were fully com: petent to carry on the businessduring his absence, and he therefore saw no obstacle to the indul gence of his inclination. A vessel which he longed to one of his commercial friends, was about to sail for Barbadoes, and after touching at several of the other West India Islands, to sail to Vera Cruz, a considerable sea port on the eastern coast of New Spain. In this way, thought he as be traced his future course upon the map, I shall gain a knowledge of that nu mercus cluster of islands wh1ch are called the. West.
