1838 PIONEERS 1ed Far West Western Frontier Exploration Native American INDIANS

"The Far West: or, A Tour Beyond the Mountains" by Edmund Flagg is an exhaustive two-volume account of the author's extensive explorations through Missouri and Illinois during the 19th century. Flagg, a writer, lawyer, and diplomat, presents a tapestry of western life, detailing the stunning landscapes of prairies and rivers, the mysteries of ancient mounds, and the early settlements of the French. Initially, his experiences and observations were written as travelogue sketches and shared with the readers of the Louisville Journal. After receiving positive responses and due to the urging of friends, Flagg decided to compile, revise, and expand these sketches into this comprehensive work. His fascinating book showcases his indebtedness to previous authors who had written about the West, and it serves as a significant contribution to the literature of Western Americana.
