Originally published in 1853, this wilderness travelogue about the exploration of Canaan Valley has appeal far beyond that time and region. This often humorous and always fascinating story, told by Philip Pendleton Kennedy about the journey he and his colleagues took into yet unexplored territory, will make the reader long for days when there was still wilderness on this continent.

West Virginia University English Professor Timothy Sweet edited the second volume in our West Virginia and Appalachia series. The Blackwater Chronicle by Philip Pendleton Kennedy was originally published in 1853, but this wilderness travelogue about the exploration of Canaan Valley has appeal far beyond that time and region. In fact, it was originally published in New York and London, and even in a German edition. This often humorous and always fascinating story, told by Kennedy about the journey he and his colleagues took into yet unexplored territory, will make the reader long for days when there was still wilderness on this continent. It will also be of interest to the outdoorsman and should be viewed as an environmental cautionary tale.

Philip Pendleton Kennedy resided, for most of his life, in the present-day eastern panhandle of West Virginia, USA where he socialized, hunted and fished, and dabbled at writing. The Blackwater Chronicle is his only major published work.
