Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book provides an eyewitness account of the events which were going on in the southeastern states, and probably over the rest of the country, during the period when the Indian people were being degraded and theirculture destoyedand replaced by the European. It paints a picture,through the eyes of literate travelers, of the wonderful wilderness thatwas the American south as it gave way tosettlement and the plow. Thisvivid picture cannot be told as well by any historian as it was by thosewho lived it and told it in their own words as they traveled through thisprimitive and sometimes dangerous land.
