Description

In the spring of 1849 young Philadelphia physician S. W. Woodhouse, an avid ornithologist, was once appointed surgeon-naturalist of 2 expeditions, one in 1849 and any other in 1850, to survey the Creek-Cherokee boundary in Indian Territory. A keen observer of frontier life and society, Woodhouse wrote down in three journals detailed entries on his travels, including information at the natural world in addition to his impressions of the places he passed and their folks, notably early Indian Territory personalities such because the McIntoshes and the Perrymans of the Creek Indians; Elijah Hicks of the Cherokees; Tallee and Clermont III of the Osages; and Oh-ha-wah-kee of the Comanches. To assist the brand new reader, editors John S. Tomer and Michael J. Brodhead have supplied a detailed introduction and extensive, clarifying notes.
