ELIZA HOUSE TRIST traveled west two decades before Lewis & Clark, and she kept this journal for Thomas Jefferson.
A new publication of the original daily journal of early America's Eliza Trist on her 1783-84 westward trip into seldom-traveled Mississippi territory. She endures extreme weather. Encounters early pioneers and settlers. And her daily observations include Louisiana territory natural resources, historic sights, and waterways. Eliza's writings firmly place her into America's founding and expansion history. By her own hand and words shared with Thomas Jefferson, Eliza Trist contributes to our lexicon of what it meant to go west.
A New Hardbound Edition of the Travel Journal
This new and beautifully-packaged hardbound edition, with a new introduction by Karen A. Chase, faithfully transcribes Eliza Trist's journal as originally written by Trist, 1783-84. All the spelling, punctuation, and page-by-page entries have been typeset as originally written by Trist. With minimal footnotes, it immerses the reader in the prose and poetry of the original travel journal entries. Complete with a new map of her journey.
