In 1775, under the gathering storm clouds of the American Revolution, the Canceaux was redirected to undertake an expedition along the coast of the District of Maine to assert the authority of the crown. The Canceaux, under these Admiralty orders, participated in the bombardment and subsequent destruction of the thriving seaport of Falmouth in the District of Massachesetts.The Canceaux's logs were kept by commander Lieut. Henry Mowat, R. N. and sailing master Ensign William Hogg, R.N., aboard the sloop of war, while surveying for the Atlantic Neptune along the coast of the District of Maine, and undertaking the Falmouth Expedition.

Richard Harding Davis was one of the most recognizable journalists of his day. Davis was larger than life for his time, so much the persona of his era that, with its passing, he has been largely forgotten and his reporting on major events or social conditions is difficult to find. In January 1892, he boarded a train to begin a three-month tour of the West to write a series of articles for \u003cem\u003eHarper's Weekly\u003c\/em\u003e. This series was later published in a book, \u003cem\u003eThe West from a Car-Window\u003c\/em\u003e. The West offered adventure, danger, and potential riches; and had captured the imagination of the country. This well written narrative is beautifully descriptive and detailed. Readers will journey through Texas, from San Antonio to Corpus Christi; meet U.S. troops on the Texas\/Mexican border; tour a mining camp, Oklahoma City, a Texas ranch, and an Indian reservation; experience an army post through civilian eyes; and for a finale, visit Denver and Colorado Springs in Colorado.

Very few women in the 1870s would have chosen to do what Annie did. The idea of leaving family and friends for nearly three and one half years to sail to areas of the world which were not even listed on a map must have been daunting, but to do this as the only woman on a ship where some of the crew may have resented a woman onboard, and others may not have had the highest character references, was absolutely courageous.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnnie sailed on the \u003cem\u003eA.

Her journey took her from her home port of New Bedford, Massachusetts, down the Atlantic around the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, and across the Indian Ocean to the Pacific off the coast of Australia. Her journal entries not only tell of tragedy and death, of dangers and bad weather, but also of friendly natives and sightseeing, shopping and fashion concerns. They are an invaluable record of life onboard a whaling ship-the excitement of the hunt, a powerful storm, even an earthquake-and the boredom of day after day when nothing happened.

By mid-June, in two frail canoes of birchbark, and with five French servants, the explorers entered the great river at the mouth of the Wisconsin, and descended, with many interesting adventures, as far south as the mouth of the Arkansas River. Learning from the Indians the course and characteristics of the waterway from that point to the Gulf of Mexico, they returned northward by way of the Illinois and Chicago Rivers and the west shore of Lake Michigan, reaching the Jesuit mission at the De Pere rapids, Wisconsin, in September. Overcome by a malady contracted through exposure and hardship upon the long voyage, Marquette could not leave De Pere until October of 1674. He returned by boat to Illinois, where he desired to found a new mission. After a cold, dreary journey up the west coast of Lake Michigan, he was obliged because of ill health to pass the winter with two servants in a wretched cabin upon the Chicago River. In early spring he was able to proceed to some Indian villages upon the Illinois River, but soon was compelled by his ailment to return, this time intending to reach the old mission of St. Ignace, on the Mackinac Straits. Death overtook him while still 250 miles from his destination. Such, in outline, is the brief, simple tragedy of one of the most interesting characters in American history. Father Marquette was great as an explorer, as a \"tamer of savages\", and as a preacher; and he has left to us in the journals of his voyages of 1673 and 1674-75, two keenly interesting human documents.

Draper\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe journey down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers was instigated by Ezekiel Forman, who intended to move his family and sixty odd colored people to the Natchez country. Samuel S. Forman accompanied them, recounting his adventures for our reading enjoyment two hundred years later. Maj. Forman gives us many insights into the trials and tribulations of long-distance traveling in the late 1700s. It took Samuel Forman and his party three weeks to get from Cranberry, New Jersey, to Pittsburgh. En route he had trouble with finding accommodations, a lack of funds, and a delayed meeting with Ezekiel. Once everyone was together at the Ohio River, and boats secured for their trip, the river rose and delayed their start by a month. By January of 1790, the group had arrived at Louisville, at the Falls of the Ohio where they waited for the river to clear of ice. In February, everyone continued the journey except for Samuel, who, having set up shop, would resume his southwardly trip in May after trading his store and remaining goods for a tobacco boat. He deals with Indians, river obstructions, and much hard work before arriving at Natchez. Entreated to stay with Ezekiel, he nonetheless feels obligated to return home to New Jersey and does so by sea. Samuel is attentive to recounting names and places, and he provides many details which must have been commonplace knowledge for him but which are vital and important tidbits to modern students of history. Footnotes by Draper add historical and biographical details.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSamuel S.

Ogden’s first three letters describe his personal adventures, while the rest add historical and geographical information. In 1827 Bullock landed at New Orleans then traveled up-river to Cincinnati. “…he purchased a large estate on the Kentucky side of the river, planning to make it his future home, and to lead thence a colony from England. Intent on this purpose he proceeded by way of Sandusky, Buffalo, and the Erie Canal to New York, whence he sailed for the mother country.” There he published his journal of the trip, eventually bringing his family to America and settling on his estate. Dr. Josiah Gregg spent nine years crossing between the United States and New Mexico eight times as he led trading caravans far into the Mexican territory. During all these wanderings Gregg kept a journal of daily occurrences and at the urging of friends began contributing articles to various southwestern newspapers. These articles, which became a two-volume book, covered the status of the New Mexican provinces, the Santa Fe Trade before the closing of the Mexican custom houses in 1841, the customs and manners of the people and the resources of the country. His work mingles history, description and narrative.

Why seven decades? The answer is that it has been seven decades — seventy years — since I first began to see the world through the lens of a camera. In the summer of 1954, I used an Agfa Single-Lens Reflex (SLR) camera to record my work on a cattle ranch in Montana. Those 35mm Kodachrome slides were preserved and they are the starting point for Part II of \u003cem\u003eSeven\u003c\/em\u003e. I used the same borrowed camera to record my experiences as a mountain climber in Canada in the summer of 1955. \u003cem\u003eSeven\u003c\/em\u003e begins with Part I, in which I recall places that I visited, or where I lived and worked, from my birth in Iowa in 1932 to 1954, when I was a student at Harvard Medical School. Part I also tells of my years as a student at Yale and of my two summers at Quantico with the U.S. Marine Corps. I purchased and used other cameras in the seven decades that are recorded in Part II. I took pictures using color and black and white film, and in recent years I found it convenient to record digital images. In the seven decades from 1954 to 2024, I traveled throughout the world, and I lived and worked in Massachusetts, Colorado, Missouri, West Virginia, New Jersey, and Maryland. \u003cem\u003eSeven\u003c\/em\u003e includes descriptions of places in twelve eastern states from Maine to Virginia, using words to describe what I saw instead of reproductions of my photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is the latest book from a three-time winner of a Finalist’s Medal from Indie Book Awards.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGeorge J.
