Paperback, [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from The Western World; Or Travels in the United States in 1846-47, Vol. 3 of 3: Exhibiting Them in Their Latest Development, Social, Political and Industrial; Including a Chapter on California Next morning at an early hour we left New Dr leans for St. Louis. Our journey was confined to the Mississippi, which we were to ascend for upwards of miles. We were on board a first-class steamer, and as we receded from the town, and before the first curve of the river had hid it from our view, I thought it, as the morning sun shone brightly upon its spires and cupolas, its massive piles of warehouses, its Levee already swarming with busy thousands, and the spare and rigging and multitudinous funnels which lined its semicircular harbour, one of the finest views of the kind I had ever beheld. In itself the southern capital is in every respect a most interesting town. But it has little that is interesting around it, for it stands, as it were, alone in the wilderness, a city without any immediate environs, to attract the stranger, or to recreate its inhabitants.
