ONe of the best accounts of early travel I've read for quite a while! This beautifully written book sums up Olmsted's very perceptive view of the flaws of slavery . Slavery, he was convinced, was not only dehumanizing to the slaves, but resulted in poor agricultural practices that degraded otherwise fine land. Crop rotation was seldom if ever used. Furthermore, a slave-based economy reduced initiative in land owners, who saw no reason to modernize their farming practices or attitudes toward a "lower class" of humanity, i.e. slaves.
Much more could be said here about this very enlightening book. which also contains humor -- a smart but sometimes recalcitrant mule, Mr. Brown, and a favored dog, Judy. Read it and see!

Rare Look at a Young Texas
The author was writing a series of newspaper articles in the 1850's for 'The New York Times' concerning a first-hand account of slavery in the Southern States (later to become a famous book entitled "The Cotton Kingdom"). His remarkable saddle journey through a wide area of Texas, not yet 10 years old as a State of the Union, took him from the north all the way into Mexico, and back. It's a fascinating look at how Texans lived during those times. A true and entertaining read, especially for the history buff!
