This volume of Thwaites’s Early Western Travels reprints two first-hand accounts. Tilly Buttrick describes his voyages and wanderings between 1812 and 1819, and Estwick Evans recounts his pedestrious tour of four thousand miles through the western states and territories in 1818, including a visit to a recent battlefield where he studied the scars on the trees.
