Synopsis
This book offers a first-hand account of the Ohio River during the 18th century, focusing on its exploration and cartography. Based on surveys from 1766, the author, a British military engineer, provides detailed hydrological observations, including channel depth and velocity, and descriptions of the river's physical features, such as islands and tributaries. It also includes observations of the surrounding environment, including vegetation, landforms, and the presence of Native American settlements. The surveys provided valuable information for future expeditions and contributed to the broader understanding of the Ohio River and the Ohio Valley region during a period of rapid exploration and settlement.
