Omschrijving

The Life and Adventures of Jonathan Jefferson Whitlaw: Or Scenes on the Mississippi is a novel written by Frances Milton Trollope and published in 1836. The book follows the adventures of the titular character, Jonathan Jefferson Whitlaw, as he travels down the Mississippi River in the early 19th century. Whitlaw is a wealthy and privileged young man who embarks on a journey to discover the world beyond his sheltered upbringing. Along the way, he encounters a diverse cast of characters, including gamblers, river pirates, and slaves. Through his experiences, Whitlaw learns about the harsh realities of life on the Mississippi, including the brutal treatment of slaves and the corruption of those in power. He also falls in love with a young woman named Lucy Templeton, who challenges his preconceived notions about race and class. The novel is a vivid portrayal of life on the Mississippi in the early 19th century, and it explores themes of social justice, morality, and the struggle for personal growth and self-discovery. Trollope's writing is richly descriptive and captures the sights, sounds, and smells of the river and its surroundings. Overall, The Life and Adventures of Jonathan Jefferson Whitlaw: Or Scenes on the Mississippi is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that offers a unique perspective on American history and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
