Made famous through the paintings of Swiss artist Karl Bodmer, the North American expedition of German naturalist Prince Maximilian of Wied in 1832–34 was the first scientific exploration of the Missouri River’s upper reaches since the epic journey of Lewis and Clark almost thirty years earlier. Maximilian’s journal has never been presented fully in English—until now. This collector’s-quality, oversized volume, the first of a three-volume set, draws on the Maximilian-Bodmer Collection at Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha, Nebraska. The North American Journals offer an incomparable view of the upper Missouri and its Native peoples at a pivotal moment in the history of the American West. This meticulous account, newly translated with extensive modern annotation, faithfully reproduces Maximilian’s 110 drawings and watercolors as well as his own notes, asides, and appendices. Volume I, which covers May 1832 to April 1833, documents Maximilian’s voyage to North America and his first encounters with Indians upon reaching the West. This is an essential resource for nineteenth-century western American history and a work of lasting value. This book is published with the assistance of the National Historical Publications and Records Commission.

Excerpt from A Discourse: Delivered Before the Virginia Historical Society, at Their Eighth Annual Meeting, December 14, 1854 Doubtless the wild man ofthe woods could distinguish between sounds, as pleasant or unpleasant, as grave or gay, but what sense had he ofthe hidden ha'rraonies which oated in the air around him Did he dream that the very air which he breathed could be modulated into sounds which subdue the senses by their tones, and stir the soul to its inmost depths, speaking in the only universal language known to man, with an unerring concord and a certainty of expression which the original curse of Babel has never reached to confuse or destroy? So, too, he must have had some idea of the beautiful, in the forms ofthings; but it was as transitory as the lights and shadows which itted by. Him. To fix the idea ere it fled, and reproduce it in forms more eloquent than words; to make sentient the cold impassive stone, and to embalm emotions and sentiments in lights borrowed from heaven, would have been indeed to him an art and a faculty divine, so far did it transcend his power of execution. Nor is the superiority of the last over the former generation of the men ofl whom I have been Speaking, less striking in a moral, than in a physical point of view. Conceptions over which a Newton, or a Leibnitz, or Bernouilli, or Euler, toiled in his study, are now the daily exercises of boys at college; and the higherand subtler analysis of La Grange, or La Place, -is probably destined to be mastered with equal facility hereafter. Ideas whose origination cost so much to a Plato, or an Aristotle, 1 Bacon, a Des Cartes, or a Kant, are now the' commonproperty of the world, and thousands understand thoughts which probably not one of them could have discovered.
