Birkbeck was an English gentleman farmer who emigrated to the United States, going on to write a travel book. Following this journey, his correspondence included very detailed accounts of aspects of American and emigrant life. This work brings together letters by Birkbeck to friends and an epistolary exchange with future émigrés, who inquire about the price of cabins, American Indians, and so on...The book is an important source of information on what exactly emigrants to America should expect.
