John Bradbury's adventures in the wilds of North America brings to life the rugged landscapes bordering the Missouri and Mississippi rivers as they were many years ago. In this astounding history of the United States, Bradbury traverses what is now the Deep South of the USA, plus the area west of Illinois then known as simply 'The Western Territories'. His recollections are authentic and written plainly, offering readers a look at how the young nation was at the time, both in terms of its rural landscape and the settlers. Many of the settlers or explorers traversing the USA at the time were either illiterate or barely literate. As such, John Bradbury's ability to write cogently speaks of his value as an educated man venturing to the vast frontiers of North America; although a naturalist by profession, he joined the Pacific Fur Company. Through this employ, Bradbury was able to traverse the Missouri river and write his experiences, while also sending seeds of exotic and undocumented plants to his son.
