"Lyell spent five of the nine months traveling through the south [Richmond, Charleston, Savannah, Darien, Montgomery, Mobile, New Orleans, Louisville] . Lyell's scientific interest took him along the regular routes as well as into the remoter corners seldom seen by other travelers . Lyell's description of the coastal islands of the southeastern coast, erosion, topography, and fossils in Georgia and Alabama are an important contribution to travel literature, while his detailed observations of the Mississippi Valley from the delta to the mouth of the Ohio River equal or excel the accounts of other travelers . the geologist took advantages of his many opportunities to examine objectively the many aspects of slavery [attending] slave auctions, inspecting living conditions, and observing the various kinds of daily toil . these many realistic yet prophetic observations make Lyell one of the most important among the many travelers reporting on the institution during this period."
