Shirreff, Patrick. A Tour through North America; Together with a Comprehensive View of the Canadas and United States. As adapted for agricultural emigration (Edinburgh, 1835).
The author of this work was a shrewd farmer, and his observations upon the people among whom he came are characterized by a degree of sanity and fairness all too rare, unhappily, in the works of English travelers in the United States in this period. Shirreff came to Chicago in 1833 in the same stage that brought Latrobe. His observations on the place, and on the proceedings attending the Indian treaty which was in process of negotiation may profitably be compared with those of Latrobe.
