H. Alexander, St. Charles, MO" to title page and upper margin of first page, the paper is of sturdy but indifferent quality, and is toned and lightly discolore throughout, with pencil emphasis and corrections in places and an old manuscript biography of Flint to the verso of the final leaf. A good, strong copy of a scarce and important title, with some sophistication, and cosmetic defects. A significant travel account, extremely detailed and coherent, incorporating records of Here is a more academic revision with a formal tone and smoother structure: > New Orleans, Covington, Alexandria, Cape Girardeau, St. Charles, and New Madrid are among the locations he discusses. Flint offers candid observations on a wide range of regional conditions; commerce, slavery, moral practices, geography, agriculture, transportation etc.. He devotes particular attention to the widespread phenomenon of frenzied land speculation.
