Hulme's Journal, 1818-1819 - Reuben Thwaites Gold

Hulme's Journal, 1818-1819: Flower's Letters From Lexington And The Illinois, 1819 is a historical book written by Reuben Gold Thwaites. The book is a compilation of two primary sources: the journal of Joseph Hulme, an Englishman who traveled to the United States in 1818, and the letters of Morris Birkbeck Flower, an American who settled in the Illinois Territory in 1819. The journal of Joseph Hulme provides a detailed account of his travels through the eastern United States, including his observations of the landscape, people, and culture. He also describes his encounters with Native Americans and his impressions of the American political system. The letters of Morris Birkbeck Flower provide a firsthand account of the settlement of the Illinois Territory in the early 19th century. Flower describes the challenges and rewards of settling in a new and untamed land, as well as the interactions between settlers and Native Americans. The book, published in 1904, provides a valuable insight into the early history of the United States and the settlement of the Illinois Territory. The primary sources included in the book offer a unique perspective on the experiences of early travelers and settlers in the United States, making it a valuable resource for historians and anyone interested in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
