Abstract
Journal of a Tour through the States of Ohio and Kentucky, commenced Saturday, 29 July 1826, by Thomas Green of Richmond. This journal concludes on 1 April 1827, at Chillicothe. Green's western trip was for the purpose of pursuing land matters, but the journal contains notes on the social, political, and economic life of the old West. Green visited Front Royal, Harrisonburg, Warm Springs, Kanawha Falls, and the Salines of Virginia, crossed the river at Gallipolis, passed through the principal towns and cities of southern Ohio including Cincinnati and Columbus, toured much of western and central Kentucky, visited the Shakers at South Union and Pleasant Hill, watched the canal construction at Louisville, and visited Transylvania University in Lexington.
