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.
