Excellent insight into available roads, stagecoach routes, and terminus points at the time.

Rayner describes stays on friends' Lucius and George's plantations in Tennessee, discusses plans to purchase a new plantation along the Mississippi River in Arkansas, Mississippi, or Louisiana, and move his "negroes" to it. He gives insight into various crop values and the types of soil in which they seem to grow best.
