Courses Taught
I am interested in the published accounts of travelers to the trans-Mississippi "borderlands" in the first two decades of the 19th century. In particular, I am interested in why people chose to tackle this difficult terrain, what they expected to do or find, and how the experience of travel itself unhinged their expectations. I am also interested in assessing the social texture of this "borderlands" region and how travelers constructed it for their readers.
