| Summary | "Narrative of a Journey Down the Ohio and Mississippi in 1789-90" by Samuel S. Forman is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book recounts an early American expedition through the nascent regions of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, reflecting on the adventures and challenges faced by Forman and his companions. It likely covers themes of exploration, frontier life, and interactions between different cultures in a formative period of American history. The opening of this narrative establishes the context of Major Samuel S. Forman's journey, starting in late 1789 when he joins an emigrating party led by his uncle, General David Forman. The text details the initial phases of their expedition from New Jersey to Natchez, providing insights into the preparation, their interactions with local authorities, and the adventures that ensue along the way. Forman describes the struggles of travel through rough terrain and inclement weather, the challenges faced with a large group of people, including enslaved individuals, and encounters that evoke a vivid picture of life on the American frontier during a transformative period. This initial portion sets the stage for adventures to come and hints at the historical importance of such narratives in understanding early American life and migration.
