Rebecca White journal
Title:
Rebecca White journal
Description:
Records White's trip "on a tour to the South and West" with her father Josiah White and sister Hannah White Richardson. The largest part of the journal concerns travel in Virginia and West Virginia, but the full route ran to Washington via Baltimore, then through Virginia and West Virginia to Huntington via Harpers Ferry, along the Ohio River to Cincinnati and Louisville, overland across Kentucky through Lexington, back along the Ohio River to Pittsburgh, and overland to Harrisburg and Philadelphia. Passages throughout the journal pay attention to the state of settlement and "improvement" of the land they passed through, as well as its natural resources, geology, and fitness for farming. Other themes include railroads and canals, as well as occasional observations on the "blighting effects of slavery" on the "spirit of enterprise" of Virginia and Kentucky's white inhabitants. Incidents of particular interest include an account of hearing Congress's debates on the Fortification Bill; lengthy descriptions of several famous geological formations in Virginia, including the Grand Caverns at Weyers Cave, the Natural Bridge, and a number of hot springs; a brief biography of a free African American man who the travelers hired to drive them from Louisville to Frankfort; and a brief meeting with Joseph Ritner, governor of Pennsylvania, in Harrisburg.
