Henry Marie Brackenridge

Henry Marie Brackenridge 1786-1871, American writer, b. Pittsburgh; son of Hugh Henry Brackenridge. Admitted to the Pennsylvania bar in 1806, he moved to St. Louis, where he was a lawyer and journalist. Among his writings are Views of Louisiana (1814), part of which was one of the sources of Washington Irving's Astoria, and a pamphlet South America (1817), which puts forth a policy similar to the Monroe Doctrine. Sent to South America to study political conditions, he recounted his experiences in Voyage to South America (1819). His Recollections of Persons and Places in the West (1834) is a valuable historical source.

Brackenridge, Henry Marie (1786–1871), the son of Hugh Henry Brackenridge, was also a prominent jurist. He wrote of his Voyage to South America (1819), and in a pamphlet, South America (1817), advocated a policy similar to the later Monroe Doctrine. His Views of Louisiana (1814) and Recollections of Persons and Places in the West (1834) afford interesting historical information.
