Paducah at the Mouth of the Tennesee

Description

The modern city of Paducah, Kentucky, stands today below the junction of the Cumberland and the Ohio at the mouth of the Tennessee River. In Bodmer's day Paducah was a small town. When passing this same location in March, 1833, Maximilian recorded in his journal that the Western Pilot of 1829 did not include a reference to Paducah.
