In 1834–5 the English geologist George William Featherstonhaugh (1780–1866) travelled from the East Coast of the US to the Arkansas territory. Published in 1844, this two-volume travelogue vividly records the landscape, natural history and society of the southern slave states. Volume 2 focuses on Arkansas and New Orleans.
