Summary: "Farnham's Travels in the Great Western Prairies, etc., part 1, May 21-October…" by Thomas Jefferson Farnham is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This work documents Farnham’s journey through the Great Western Prairies and the Oregon Territory during a time of burgeoning American interest in westward expansion. The author vividly describes his experiences and the various challenges faced by a small group of adventurers as they seek to explore and claim territory for the United States. At the start of the narrative, Farnham recounts the preparations made in Independence, Missouri, as he and a motley group of travelers ready themselves for the arduous journey westward. Among them are individuals motivated by personal recovery, adventure, and patriotic duty. The expedition faces a series of hardships, such as rainstorms, scarcity of food, and emerging conflicts with local tribes, including encounters with the hostile Cumanche. The journey is marked by a mix of camaraderie and discord within the group, as they navigate treacherous landscapes and tense interactions with Indigenous peoples while also reflecting on the broader implications of their journey in the context of America's westward expansion.
