ISBN10: 0806128054, ISBN13: 9780806128054, [publisher: University of Oklahoma Press, Oklahoma] Softcover Paperback. In the spring of 1849 young Philadelphia physician S. W. Woodhouse, an avid ornithologist, was appointed surgeon-naturalist of two expeditions, one in 1849 and another in 1850, to survey the Creek-Cherokee boundary in Indian Territory. A keen observer of frontier life and society, Woodhouse wrote down in three journals detailed entries on his travels, including information on the flora and fauna as well as his impressions of the places he passed and their people, notably early Indian Territory personalities such as the McIntoshes and the Perrymans of the Creek Indians; Elijah Hicks of the Cherokees; Tallee and Clermont III of the Osages; and Oh-ha-wah-kee of the Comanches. To aid the modern reader, editors John S. Tomer and Michael J. Brodhead have supplied a detailed introduction and extensive, clarifying notes. In the spring of 1849, Woodhouse was appointed surgeon-naturalist of two expeditions, in 1849 and 1850, to survey the Creek-Cherokee boundary in Indian territory. This volume presents his journals during this time and includes information on flora and fauna as well as the places he encountered.
