Carver is a historical account written in the late 18th century. The narrative chronicles Captain Jonathan Carver's explorations through the largely uncharted territories of North America following the conclusion of the French and Indian War. The work serves as both an adventure tale and a detailed study of the land, its resources, and the native cultures encountered along the way, specifically the tribes of the Midwest, including the Naudowessie and Chipéway Indians. At the start of the book, Carver outlines his intentions for the journey after the peace treaty of 1763, emphasizing the urgency of understanding the vast territories recently acquired by Britain. He describes his initial travels from Boston to Michillimackinac, detailing the fort's significance and the challenges faced due to inaccurate maps and scarce supplies. He highlights his interactions with native tribes, showcasing their customs, governance, and hospitality, all while seeking to chart the lands and document their potential for future exploitation and settlement. Carver's reflections offer a blend of personal narrative and authoritative observations that aim to contribute to the understanding of both the geography and native cultures of North America.
