These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Retrospect of Western Travel, Volume II (of 2): Look inside the book: A multitude of Kentuckians and other western men had almost forced their way on board as deck-passengers; men who had come down the river in flatboats with produce, who were to work their way up again by carrying wood at the wooding-places, morning and evening, to supply the engine fire. ...When the heat began to decline, we went to the hurricane deck to watch the beauty of evening stealing on; and, as no one but ourselves and our most esteemed acquaintance seemed to care for the wider view we here obtained, we had the place to ourselves, except that some giddy boys pursued their romps here, and kept us in a perpetual panic, lest, in their racing, they should run overboard. ...It was impossible to preserve a footing for an instant on the top; and the poor passengers who lay there had attempted to come down, bruised with the tremendous hail (which caused the noise we could not account for), and seeing, with the pilot, no other probability than that the hurricane deck would be blown completely away; but there was actually no standing room for these men, and they had to remain above and take their chance. About Harriet Martineau, the Author: Charles noted that his father was upset by a piece read in the Westminster Review calling for the radicals to break with the Whigs and give working men the vote 'before he knew it was not hers Martineau's, and wasted a good deal of indignation, and even now can hardly believe it is not hers.' ...'Erasmus has been with her noon, morning, and night:—if her character was not as secure, as a mountain in the polar regions she certainly would loose it.— Lyell called there the other day & there was a beautiful rose on the table, & she coolly showed it to him & said 'Erasmus Darwin' gave me that.— How fortunate it is, she is so very plain; otherwise I should be frightened: She is a wonderful woman'.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1838 edition. Excerpt: ...with a languid step, take hold of her gown, and timidly ask, " What, an't ye well?" I used to observe her helping to dress her mistress's hair, her little hands trembling with eagerness, her eye following every glance of the eye which ever looked tenderly upon her. Her master declared he did not know what to make of the child, she looked so scared, and trembled so if she was spoken to: and she was indeed the most sensitive of children. As she stood at the corner of the dinner-table to fan away the flies, she was a picture from which it was difficult to turn away. Her little yellow headdress suited well with her clear brown complexion and large soft black eyes: nothing that she could at all understand of the conversation escaped her, while she never intermitted her waving of the huge brush of peacocks' feathers. Her face was then composed in its intelligence, for she stood by her mistress's elbow; a station where she seemed to think no harm could befal her. Alas! she has lost her kind mistress. Amidst the many sad thoughts which thronged into my mind when I heard of the death of this lady, one of the wisest and best of American women, I own that some of my earliest regrets were for little Ailsie; and when I think of her sensibility, her beauty, and the dreadful circumstances of her parentage, as told me by her mistress, I am almost in despair about her future lot; for what can her master, with all his goodness, do for the forlorn little creature's protection? None but a virtuous mistress can fully protect a female slave, --and that too seldom. Ailsie was born on an estate in Tennessee. Her father is a white gentleman, not belonging to the family; her mother the family cook. The cook's black husband cherished such a deadly hatred against this poor...

About four o'clock in the afternoon of the 6th of May we were convoyed, by a large party of friends, to the "Henry Clay," on board of which accommodations had been secured for us by great exertion on the part of a fellow-voyager. The "Henry Clay" had the highest reputation of any boat on the river, having made ninety-six trips without accident; a rare feat on this dangerous river.

Harriet Martineau (1802-76) was a British social theorist and writer, often cited as the first female sociologist. She wrote many books and a multitude of essays from a sociological, holistic, religious, domestic, and, most controversially, feminist perspective. She also translated works by the French philosopher Auguste Comte, and earned enough to support herself entirely from her writing, a rare feat for a woman in the Victorian era. After her family's textile business failed in 1829, Martineau set about earning a living by selling articles to the Monthly Repository, quickly establishing herself as a popular and reliable freelance writer. Her first commissioned book was Illustrations of Political Economy (1832), a fictional tutorial intended to help the general public understand the ideas of Adam Smith, which led to a series of similar monthly stories over the next two years. Upon moving from Norwich to London in 1832 Martineau soon became acquainted with many of the leading figures of the day in the fields of social reform, economics, science and literature, and in 1834, after completing her series on economics, she paid a long visit to the US. On her return she published several books on her findings: Society in America (1837), How to Observe Morals and Manners (1838), both considered significant contributions to the emerging field of sociology, and the more personal account of her trip, Retrospect of Western Travel, published in two volumes in 1838. Martineau was also the author of works of fiction for both children and adults, her best known novel being Deerbrook (1838). In 1839 she was diagnosed with a uterine tumour and her later years were plagued with ill-health although she continued her political activism and remained a prolific writer. In 1855, suffering from heart disease, she began her autobiography, and fearing her life was near its end she completed it within three months, postponing publication until after her death. She went on to live for a further two decades and it was published posthumously in 1877. Reprinted from Volume I of Retrospect of Western Travel published by Saunders & Otley, London, in 1838, and sold by Harper & Brothers, New York.
