Historians Smith and Swick reunite the two halves of Rodney's journal--half was owned by the Historical Society of Delaware, and the other half by the Library of Congress--for the first time. The journal tells of Rodney's journey to his new post as a territorial judge and land commissioner for the newly formed Mississippi Territory. In it, he describes everything he encountered during the three-and-a-half-month journey, including flora, fauna, geology, archaeology, the urban centers of the day, and people that he met, including Meriwether Lewis.
