Volume 2 Produced by Curtis Weyant, Barbara Kosker and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "The South-West" by J. H. Ingraham is a travel narrative written in the early 19th century. This two-volume work provides a detailed account of the author’s observations and experiences while exploring the southern and southwestern regions of the United States, particularly focusing on the cities and cultures he encounters along the Mississippi River. The book likely highlights the contrasting lifestyles, social customs, and landscape features that characterize these areas, as well as the complexities of slavery in the South. At the start of the book, the author describes his journey aboard a steamboat ascending the Mississippi River, providing vivid depictions of the scenery and the various passengers on board. The bustling atmosphere is filled with travelers from diverse backgrounds, including gamblers, planters, and curious northern women fascinated by the South. Through his observations, he presents a lively picture of the social dynamics aboard the boat and offers a critique of the moral laxity he perceives, particularly in contrast to the strictness of Sabbath observance in the North. The author also anticipates arriving in Natchez, a town steeped in historical significance and noted for its striking landscape, setting the stage for further exploration of both its physical and cultural attributes.
