His objective was paleontological exploration, and his travels took him by land and water from Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, to New Orleans and Alabama in search of the gigantic sea serpent, or \u003ci\u003eZeuglodon. \u003c\/i\u003eHis full, day-by-day, record of his journey was excerpted and published in Germany in 1847. The book, which is extremely rare, is here translated and published in English for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot only was Koch a passionate\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003escien­tist; he was also a shrewd observer of the social and political scene. His observa­tions are replete with staggering detail, and his impressions given in vivid de­scriptions. An unusual and important contribution to the history of American civilization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Southern Illinois University Press","offers":[{"title":"Journey Through a Part of the United States of North America in the Years 1844-1846 | Albert C Koch | Hardcover | 080930581X | Used: Like New | Travelogues 1618756","offer_id":50690213380354,"sku":"1618756","price":26.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/81YzUEsUDRL.jpg?v=1791499117","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/journey-through-a-part-of-the-united-states-of-north-america-in-the-years-1844-1846","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
