Faux's Memorable Days in America, 1819-20; and Welby's Visit to North America, 1819-20, part 2 (1820)

Travel journals by two English visitors record journeys across early American middle and western regions, offering daily entries on towns, inns, roads, river and steamboat travel, agriculture, markets, and local customs. They combine practical details—crop yields, tavern life, and travel hardships—with social observation of manners, legal disputes, slavery and free Black communities, and frontier violence. One account focuses on a winter stay in Philadelphia and visits to Illinois settlements; the other describes extensive travel through Kentucky, Ohio, and neighboring districts, with portraits of settlers, commerce, and landscape.
