Two weeks in wilderness

The author comes to america to see and learn about the land and its people. He wants to see the real Native population, but gets disappointed when he sees that everyone becomes americanized. The natives no longer dress in their clothing, rather they wear the things that they receive from the americans. They also drink alcohol and have weapons like guns from the Americans (however, I am not very sure about that). The land has also change. Under the power and colonization, people cut down most of the forest in order to have space and materials needed to build towns and villages. However, he is also impressed by the wilderness in a way that there is a lot of old trees and plants that die but are still holding strong; and make way for the new “generations” to grow and cover the earth. The author is also very negative abou the American society. He sees it as a one society ratehr than many. This is why, I think, he prefers Europe because it consists of many countries and nations, making it more interesting and diverse, rater than one society that thinks and acts in the same way.
