Vol. 1: (2), pp. 1-337. Vol. 2: 346 pp. Narrative of a journey through Pennsylvania, the old Northwest, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia. "Hoffman's first book, an entertaining and informative journal of his travels from New York to Ohio, Missouri and Illinois in the winter of 1833. Field thought highly enough of Hoffman's account of the various Western Indian tribes to give it a "high rank in aboriginal literature." "BAL 8521; Sabin 32389; Howes H 568; Graff 1918; Clark II, Field 706 - "The numerous incidents of personal intercourse with Indians of various western tribes, the interesting details which the author's ardent curiosity regarding them drew from persons familiar with their life and habits, and the voluminous notes appended to these volumes, extracted from works not easily accessible, entitle them to a high rank in aboriginal literature.
