Summary: "Audubon's Western Journal: 1849-1850" by John Woodhouse Audubon is a historical account written in the early 20th century, detailing the author's journey from New York to Texas and onward to California during the Gold Rush era. The work serves as both a personal travel journal and a naturalist's observations, reflecting the social conditions, landscapes, and wildlife encountered along the way. It gives readers insight into the challenging aspects of overland travel during a significant period of American expansion. The opening portion of the journey chronicles the excitement and trepidation that Audubon feels as he prepares for his expedition amid the feverish rumors of California's gold discoveries. Starting in February 1849, he recounts his departure from New York, describing the emotional farewells exchanged with loved ones and the diverse reactions of his companions as they embark on their venture. Audubon details their route through cities like Philadelphia and New Orleans and the growing sense of urgency as they encounter obstacles, including illness and conflict among their party. This segment sets the stage for the ensuing hardships and adventures faced by Audubon and his companions in their quest for fortune. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
