Summary: "Early Western Travels, 1748-1846: Volume X" is a historical collection that presents annotated reprints of significant travel narratives portraying aboriginal people and social conditions during the early period of American settlement in the Midwestern and Western regions. This collection was edited by Reuben Gold Thwaites and encompasses a range of firsthand accounts from English emigrants who ventured into unknown territories in search of better lives. At the start of this volume, the narrative focuses on Thomas Hulme's account of his journey through the Western countries of America between 1818 and 1819, an exploration driven by his desire to escape the oppressive political climate of England. As an English farmer with radical tendencies, Hulme details his observations of the landscapes, peoples, and agricultural practices he encounters along his travels, from Pittsburgh to various settlements in Illinois. His narrative serves as a commentary on the contrast between the freedom he finds in America and the tyranny he seeks to escape, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of immigrant experiences and frontier life in the early 19th century.
