In 1840 the American landscape was still a rumour in Europe, so Willis was hired to explain it. His text follows Bartlett's views up the Hudson, into the Catskills and along the young canal waterways, describing a scenery that was being cleared and dammed even as it was being recorded, and knowing it.
