1835 1ed American West INDIANS Ohio Valley Melville Hall 2v Sketches of History

James Hall's 'Sketches of History, Life and Manners' is a fascinating 1835 account of life in the American West. Beginning in the early 19th-century, Americans began migrating westward encountering early European settlements, Native American Indian tribes, and dangerous animals and health threats. This book provides important details on new states finding statehood, as well as civil institutions being established throughout the American west. It should also be noted that this book was the primary source for Herman Melville's book 'The Confidence Man'.

Per Flanagan,

"Occurrences During a Six Months' Residence in the Province of Calabria Ulteriore, in the Kingdom of Naples, in the Years 1809, 1810" by Lieut. Philip J. Elmhirst, offers a detailed account of the author's experiences and observations during his six-month stay in the Calabria Ulteriore province.
