Summary "James's Account of S. H. Long's Expedition, 1819-1820, part 1" by Edwin James et al. is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This work chronicles the expedition sent to explore the Missouri and Mississippi river systems, as well as the Rocky Mountains during the years 1819-1820 under the command of Major Stephen Harriman Long. The narrative captures the scientific observations and cultural encounters of the expedition members with Native American tribes of the region. The opening of the book details the preparations leading up to the expedition's launch from Pittsburgh, highlighting the roles assigned to each member of the team. It describes the initial voyage down the Ohio River, the challenges faced along the journey, and the natural beauty of the landscapes encountered. Early interactions with various towns along the river and the impact of the expedition on both the explorers and the regions they traveled through set the scene for the unfolding exploration into the West and the challenges that lie ahead.
