Book Description
Excerpt from Travels Through the Interior Parts of North America, in the Years 1766, 1767, 1768 That future has arrived; the narration of each succeed ing Traveller has borne testimony, always involuntary, and sometimes reluctant testimony, to the accuracy of the gen eral knowledge of the glorious West which Carver obtained from its savage denizens during his residence among them, while none have presented more graphic descriptions ofthose scenes on which his own vision rested than himself; and, still more recently, the pictorial illustrations of Catlin, and the actual presence among us of delegations of the swarthy warriors of those tribes in which he had been for a while domesticated, have stamped upon his accounts of their manners and customs undeniable evidence of their truth, and imparted to them a freshness ofinterest that will amply compensate to the general reader the time he may beguile in their perusal; while those who hold proprietary rights in the Carver grant, or, having the world before them where to choose, look anxiously towards the West, may gleam from these pages much that may gladden the pres ent, and array the future in the bright hues of well-founded hope.

Not illustrated. 1778 edition. Excerpt: ... during a three yeai's voyage made by the Tyfiari fleet ifi the service of King Solomon. He asserts on the authority of JosephUs, that the p6rt at which this embarkation Was made hy in the Mediterranean. The fleet, he adds, went in quest of efepha'h'ts teeth and peacocks to the western Coast of Africa, which is Tarsifh; theii to Ophir for. gold, which is Haite, or the island of Hifpaniola; and in the latter opinion he is supported by Columbus, who, when he discovered that island, thought he could trace the furnaces In which the gold was refined. To these migrations, which preceded the Christian aera, he adds many others of a later date from different nations, but these I have not time to enumerate. For the fame reason I am obliged to pass ovef numberless writers on this subject; and shall content myself with only giving the sentiments of two or three more. The first of these is Pierre De Charlevoix, a Frenchman, who in his journal of a voyage to North America, made so lately as the year 1720, has recapitulated the opinions of a variety of authors on this head, to which he has subjoined his own OWti conjectures. But the latter cannot without some difficulty be extracted, as they are so interwoven' with tfhe passages fie has quoted, that it requites much attention tio discriminate them. He seems to allow that America might have received its first! inhabitants from Tattaty and Hyrcanfa. This he confirms, by observing that the lions and tigers which are found in' the former, must have come from those countries, and whose passage serves for a proof that the two hemispheres join to the northward of Asia., He then draws a corroboration of this argument, from a story he fays he has often heard related by Father Grollon, a French Jesuit, as..
