(This article identifies the essay as an adaptation of a section of American
Scenery; or, Land Lake, and River Illustrations of Transatlantic Nature,
New York: R. Martin & Co., 1840, written by N. P. Willis. This
essay, then, is at best a collaborative piece, with Poe editorially
reworking Willis' words.)
