Henry Leavitt Ellsworth's journal, which is in the form of a letter to his wife Nancy Goodrich Ellsworth, covers Ellsworth's 1832 trip, starting at Fort Gibson, across what is now Oklahoma. His travel companions were Washington Irving, Joseph Charles Latrobe, and Albert, Count de Pourtalés. The journal includes details regarding the group's route, the physical description of the area, and the group's interactions with the Pawnee and the Osage Indians. Ellsworth also tells about several buffalo and wild horse hunts in which he and Washington Irving participate. The journal was published in 1937 with the title Washington Irving on the prairie.
