From Clark #85 "Fordham's manuscript was here published for the first time. He was an educated young Englishman who assisted Morris Birkbeck in establishing his Illinois settlement. In his travels for Birkbeck to encourage new emigrants, he often took the opportunity to make frank and pointed comment on society, manners, and morals, as well as careful observations of the face of the country and industrial conditions."
