Choctaw Camp on the Mississippi

Description

In his later account of Bodmer's stay at Natchez, Maximilian mentioned that he made a study of Choctaws at an encampment on the Mississippi approximately a mile upstream from the town. The study is dated February 2. Bodmer left Natchez four days later aboard the steamer Cavalier and arrived back at Mount Vernon on the Ohio on or before February I 5. The exact date of Bodmer's return to New Harmony is not clearly noted in Maximilian's journal.
