Summary "Travels into North America, Volume 1" by Pehr Kalm is a historical account written in the mid-18th century. This comprehensive work documents Kalm’s explorations and observations in North America, particularly focusing on its natural history, agricultural practices, and the civil, ecclesiastical, and commercial state of the country at the time. It offers insight into the manners of the inhabitants and includes detailed reflections on various subjects that capture the essence of life in colonial America. At the start of the narrative, Kalm embarks on his journey from Gravesend, England, aboard a ship heading for Philadelphia. He describes the progression of their voyage, detailing the landscapes and experiences encountered during the crossing, including the challenges posed by the weather and sea conditions. As he navigates through the English Channel and into the Atlantic, Kalm takes note of natural phenomena, marine life, and the people he encounters. The opening sets the stage for his detailed descriptions and observations of American flora and fauna, as well as the socio-economic conditions he observes upon arriving in Philadelphia, marking a significant introduction to his greater exploration of the New World.
