* An exciting first-hand account of an early deer hunter's explorations of the unspoiled American wilderness * Voyages from New York, through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri, and as far south as Louisiana.

His hunting journal gives a fascinating look at the early-nineteenth century American landscape.
