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.
