520 _a"Buttrick's Voyages, 1812-1819; Evans's Pedestrious Tour, 1818" by Reuben Gold Thwaites is a collection of travel accounts written in the early 20th century. This volume features the journals of two American travelers recounting their experiences in the Middle and Far West during the formative years of American settlement. The narratives provide vivid portrayals of the social and economic conditions as well as encounters with the indigenous population during a pivotal time in U.S. history. The opening of the compilation presents an introduction by the editor, Reuben Gold Thwaites, which outlines the contrasting experiences of Tilly Buttrick and Estwick Evans. Buttrick's journey, marked by his adventurous spirit, details his extensive travels through the Western territories, including his harrowing experiences during the War of 1812. Conversely, Evans undertakes a 4,000-mile tour, experiencing the harsh realities of Western life while sharing philosophical reflections on civilization and nature. Their stories vividly illustrate the challenges faced by early explorers and settlers in a landscape rich with both opportunity and peril, setting the stage for insights into the evolving American frontier.
