Stansbury, and Caleb Atwater, taken from the collection of Midwestern travel narratives at the Central Michigan University Library. * Period: 18c-19c. Nunis, Doyce B., Jr. “A CALIFRONIA GOLD RUSH LETTER FROM THE "HARTFORD COURANT."“ Southern California Quarterly 1964 46(3): 265-279. Abstract: An anonymous letter dated 22 February 1850, printed in the 18 May 1850 issue of the Hartford Courant.

White, Frank F., Jr., ed. “A VOYAGE TO THE EAST INDIES, 1805.” Maryland Historical Magazine 1964 59(2): 182-198. Abstract: "In March, 1805, Captain William Stevenson left Baltimore in the ship Erin on a voyage which would take him to Europe and the East Indies." His ship had been chartered for the leg of the voyage to Europe to transport "Betsy" Patterson of Baltimore and her husband Jerome Bonaparte. Stevenson's journal, which White has edited, "...contains many nuggets of information about the trials and tribulations experienced by an American trader in various ports of the world during the early years of the 19th century." * Period: 1805. Boltzius, Johann Martin. “JOURNAL OF A TRIP FROM GEORGIA TO SOUTH CAROLINA IN 1734.” Lutheran Quarterly 1964 16(2): 168-174. Abstract: An account of the journey to South Carolina made in 1734 by Johann Martin Boltzius, German Lutheran minister to the Salzburg Protestants who settled in Georgia after having been expelled from their homes. Boltzius tells of his travels and the reactions of other settlers to the Salzburg settlers, but his primary interest is in the spiritual experiences of those with whom he came in contact. * Period: 1734. Rawlyk, G. A.; Towle, E. L. “BARON DE LEHONTAN'S MEMOIR CONCERNING THE ECONOMIC AND STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE OF PLACENTIA, NEWFOUNDLAND.” Newfoundland Quarterly 1963 62(4): 5-10. Abstract: Lahontan helped defend Placentia from the British in 1692. For his part he was given the appointment of the "Lieutenancy of the Isle of Newfoundland and Acadia." Falling out of favor with the authorities, he fled, in 1693, to Portugal. He spent years trying to persuade the French of his innocence but to no avail. He supported himself by selling his knowledge of the New World to Britain. He informed the British on the internal affairs of Canada and on a project to capture Quebec and Placentia. The memoir in this issue concerns Lahontan's plea for an English Placentia, stressing its logistic, economic and strategic significance. * Period: 1692-1889. Yoder, Paton. “THE AMERICAN INN, 1775-1850: MELTING POT OR STEWING KETTLE?” Indiana Magazine of History 1963 59(2): 135-151. Abstract: Drawing on travel accounts and reminiscences of travelers, the author has reconstructed the institution of the western inn and its milieu in the days before the Civil War. The thesis is advanced that these hostels beyond the Appalachians fostered, indeed mirrored, the democratic process so noticeably at work in early 19th century America. The evidence suggests that the blending process was not always a perfect one, that many resisted the effort at "levelling," and therefore the image of the melting pot is inaccurate when applied to the life in American inns. * Period: 1775-1850. Smith, Dwight L. “ISRAEL ANGELL AND THE WEST IN 1788.” Rhode Island History 1963 22(2): 39-50. Abstract: Continued from a previous article.

Abstract: Briefly summarizes Israel Angell's career and, particularly, his tour from Johnston, Rhode Island, to Marietta, Ohio. In addition to visiting members of the Society of the Cincinnati, Angell investigated his investments in the Ohio Company. Reproduces an edited version of Angell's unpublished journal for the period from 4 August 1788 to 3 September 1788, which is housed in the Rhode Island Historical Society. * Period: 1788. Pace, Antonio. “TWO NEW LETTERS FROM JOHN MORGAN'S ITALIAN TRAVELS.” Isis 1963 54(178): 475-479. Abstract: Reprints two letters written by American doctor John Morgan, 1764, while in Italy visiting libraries and medical academies. The texts, one in Latin the other in French, discuss his travels and impressions of Italy, but are primarily concerned with making appointments to meet Italian medical personnel. * Period: 1764.

W. “SOME SOURCE BOOKS FOR WEST AFRICAN HISTORY.” Journal of African History 1961 2(2): 227-234. * Period: 17c-18c. Parsons, William T. “"JOURNEY TO RHOAD ISLAND."“ Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography 1961 85(4): 411-422. Abstract: Describes a 1725 business trip to Newport, Rhode Island, undertaken by Isaac Norris II, a young Philadelphia merchant, commenting on and transcribing the journal which Norris kept during the voyage and which provides a good portrait of marine commerce. * Period: 1725. Neatby, L. H. “MC CLURE AND THE PASSAGE.” Beaver [Canada] 1960 291(Winter): 33-41. Abstract: Uses the unpublished journal of Johann August Miertsching (born in 1817), interpreter with the expedition seeking Sir John Franklin, 1850-54, to give an account of the voyage of the "Investigator" under Sir Robert McClure which first achieved the Northwest Passage. Contemporary accounts of the voyage are too biased, and Miertsching provides an important corrective. * Period: ca 1850-54. Trifilo, S. Samuel. “BRITISH TRAVEL ACCOUNTS ON ARGENTINA BEFORE 1810.” Journal of Inter-American Studies 1960 2(3): 239-256. Abstract: While it was difficult for foreigners to travel in Latin America during the colonial period, a number of Englishmen not only visited Argentina but left accounts of their travels. Some explored the La Plata and Parana Rivers; others traveled in Patagonia, encountering the Indians who inhabited the region. Almost all of these early English accounts disclaimed the Spanish stories of a giant Indian race, although every traveler remarked on the superb physical quality of the Indians. English travelers also wrote about the English invasion of Buenos Aires in 1806-07. Because the English force was driven out and reinforcements were also defeated, Englishmen read widely the accounts of the action written by their countrymen. * Period: 17c-1810. Eby, Cecil D., Jr. “"PORTE CANYON" IN THE TIDEWATER.” Virginia Magazine of History and Biography 1959 67(4): 438-449. Abstract: David Hunter Strother, under the pseudonynm "Porte Crayon," printed 78 travel articles in Harper's New Monthly Magazine, 1853-79, recounting his impressions of the Virginia Tidewater region. * Period: 1853-79. Macmillan, David S. and Plomley, Brian. “AN AMERICAN SURVEYOR IN MEXICO, 1827-1860.” New Mexico Historical Review 1959 34(1): 1-8. Abstract: Account of Illinois surveyor Samuel Bradford Birkbeck's years in Mexico as surveyor, manager, and director for several British companies in the silver mining industry and as a surveyor on his own. * Period: 1827-60. Lacy, James M. “NEW MEXICAN WOMEN IN EARLY AMERICAN WRITINGS.” New Mexico Historical Review 1959 34(1): 41-51. Abstract: Reprints excerpts from accounts of American travelers in New Mexico during the first half of the 19th century describing the women there as beautiful and mannered despite living in a rough and barren land. * Period: 1800-50. Bloom, John P. “NEW MEXICO VIEWED BY ANGLO-AMERICANS, 1846-1849.” New Mexico Historical Review 1959 34(3): 165-198.

TROLLOPE: HARRIET MARTINEAU IN CINCINNATI.” Ohio Historical Quarterly 1959 68(3): 276-289. Abstract: Describes the visit and cordial reception of Harriet Martineau, celebrated English writer, in Cincinnati in the summer of 1835. The distinguished visitor's impressions of her tour of the United States published on her return to England served to refute the attacks against the American way of life which appeared in the books of Mrs. Trollope. * Period: 1832-35. Kohn, S. Joshua. “JACOB MORDECAI NETTER, WORLD TRAVELER: HIS COMMENTS ON AMERICAN JEWISH LIFE.” Publications of the American Jewish Historical Society 1958 47(4): 196-199. Abstract: Netter's visit, in the 1850's, to Utica, New York, the only community aside from San Francisco mentioned in this record, fills in some lacunae in the early history of this community. His references show that two competing places of worship then existed in the city. He also called attention to the fact that most Jews at that time engaged in peddling both in the Southwest and in New York State. * Period: 1850's. Elkinton, J. Passmore. “TO OHIO ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO: EXCERPTS FROM THE JOURNAL OF THOMAS ELKINTON.” Bulletin of Friends Historical Association 1958 47(1): 38-45. Abstract: Journal of a trip from Philadelphia to Somerton, Ohio, in August and September 1856. * Period: 1856. McDermott, John Francis. “T. B. THORPE'S BURLESQUE OF FAR WEST SPORTING TRAVEL.” American Quarterly 1958 10(2): 175-180. * Period: 1843. Brandenburg, David J. “A FRENCH ARISTOCRAT LOOKS AT AMERICAN FARMING: LA ROCHEFOUCAULD-LIANCOURT'S VOYAGE DANS LES ETATS-UNIS.” Agricultural History 1958 32(3): 155-165. Abstract: Liancourt, a French aristocrat, traveled in the United States from 1795 to 1797. The notes compiled during these travels, published in eight volumes, contain extensive comments on American farming. Liancourt's firsthand observations on farming should be used as source material by economic and agricultural historians much more extensively than they have been in the past. * Period: 1795-97. Snow, Vernon F., ed. “THE GRAND TOUR DIARY OF ROBERT C. JOHNSON, 1792-1793.” Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society 1958 102(1): 60-105. Abstract: Connecticut-born son of William S. Johnson (1727-1819), member of the Constitutional Convention and president of Columbia College (1787-1800), Robert C. Johnson (1766-1806) was typical of the 18th-century New England oligarchy: aristocratic, conservative and Yankee. He admired European culture and believed in the value of travel. His diary of a tour through England, France and Italy records his impressions of individuals (Burke and Paine), places (London, Paris, etc.) and events (the French Revolution and the execution of Louis XVI). The introduction contains a survey of Johnson's background, training and opinions. The conditions under which the diary was produced, reasons for the trip, and some of the main points in the diary are also discussed. * Period: 1792-93. Bacon, Rosamond and Jellison, Charles A., eds. “ODYSSEY OF A YOUNG AMERICAN: 1857.” New England Social Studies Bulletin 1957 15(2): 5-17. Abstract: Presents excerpts from a diary written at the age of 12 by Charles R. Bacon during the course of a journey from Detroit to Vermont by way of Buffalo, Albany, New York, Boston, and Lowell. The diary gives a mature, interesting description of what a trip of this type was like in 1857. * Period: 1857. McDermott, John Francis. “WASHINGTON IRVING AND THE JOURNAL OF CAPTAIN BONNEVILLE.” Mississippi Valley Historical Review 1956 43(3): 459-467. Abstract: Relates the history of a journal of Captain B. L. E. Bonneville's trip to the Rocky Mountains from 1831 to 1835, which Washington Irving published in 1837. Drawing from hitherto unpublished correspondence between Irving and Bonneville (which is here reprinted in part), the author describes Bonneville's preparations for his journey and his subsequent difficulties in compiling the manuscript and finding an interested publisher after its completion. The author is convinced that the manuscript is still extant. * Period: 1831-37. Joyaux, Georges J., ed. “FOREST'S "VOYAGE AUX ETATS-UNIS DE L'AMERIQUE EN 1831."“ Louisiana Historical Quarterly 1956 39(4): 457-472. Abstract: Presents, with notes by the editor, extracts from a travel account written by P. Forest and published in Lyon, France, in 1834. The extracts deal with Forest's visit to New Orleans in 1831, and give his impressions of the climate, natural history and social conditions there, with particular emphasis on slavery. * Period: 1831. Schroeder, Peter B., ed. “BY HORSE AND WAGGON, THE DIARY OF ALPHEUS SHERMAN.” New York History 1956 37(4): 432-451. Abstract: A complete record of a trip from New York to Auburn, by way of Monticello and Ithaca, and return via Albany and Poughkeepsie in the fall of 1822. Sherman's trip took place in a period of rapid expansion for New York State, and the diary presents a vivid picture of the era. Annotated. * Period: 1822. Henlein, Paul C. “JOURNAL OF F. AND W. RENICK ON AN EXPLORING TOUR TO THE MISSISSIPPI AND MISSOURI RIVERS IN THE YEAR 1819.” Agricultural History 1956 30(4): 174-186. Abstract: This journal of two cattle raisers, who traveled on horseback from Chillicothe, Ohio, to what is now the center of the State of Missouri, is primarily a description of the physical features of the country as they were in 1819. The writers evaluated land as to its possible usefullness for grazing and farming, and were interested in the possibility of growth of the small towns through which they passed. * Period: 1819.
