== For those interested in the early explorations of what is now the Midwest, this is an outstanding and interesting read.
From its initial publication in London in the late 1760's Carver's travels thrilled readers both in the colonies and in Europe.
== It is not exactly an action-adventure book, but for those who enjoy accounts of Louis and Clark this would be an excellent addition to a library.

AND THEY SAID IN IT THAT THE MANSION THAT HE (JONATHAN CARVER) USED TO OWN WAS HAUNTED BY HIS GHOST - THEY SAID THAT A FAMILY HAD BOUGHT THE OLD PLACE CALLED 'SUMMERWIND' THAT HAD SINCE BURNED DOWN BY LIGHTNING BUT THEY MENTIONED THAT THE MALES FATHER HAD HAD A REGRESSION WHERE HE WENT RIGHT TO THE PLACE IN THE BASEMENT THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE HELD THE DEED TO THE SUMMERWIND ESTATE AND THAT IT WAS IN A SMALL BOX BEHIND A WALL IN THE BASEMENT BUT WHEN HE WENT TO THE EXACT PLACE WHILE THE HOUSE WAS STILL STANDING HE STUCK HIS HAND INSIDE THE HOLE AND FOUND NOTHING BUT A BLANK SPACE.
