Summary: "A Summer in the Wilderness" by Charles Lanman is a travel narrative written in the mid-19th century. This work details the author's extensive canoe journey up the Mississippi River and around Lake Superior, exploring the natural beauty and cultural landscapes of America's frontier. It captures the rich tapestry of American wilderness experiences, encounters with Indigenous tribes, and reflections on the history and lore surrounding these regions. The opening of the narrative introduces Saint Louis, characterized as the "River Queen," highlighting its role as a gateway to the wild regions of the Upper Mississippi. Lanman paints a vivid picture of the city’s bustling wharves, where various adventurers prepare for expeditions into the wilderness. He reflects on the juxtaposition of the city’s growth against the backdrop of its original inhabitants, the Indigenous people, who embody both the vibrancy and the tragedy of the American experience.
