Additional Details

Report on exploring expeditions in Louisiana in the 17th and 18th centuries, together with some geologic studies of the area. "It is to be considered a piece of travel literature in the sense that any geologist's report is essentially a description of travel. There are many scientific observations accompanied by drawings giving some concept of the physiological conditions of Louisiana. At the same time there are observations on the people of the state and on social conditions"--Clark, Travels in the Old South III:424.
