No. He took a northerly route and didn't set foot in Texas. Starting point was New York City. Hudson River to the Erie Canal, on to Lake Erie (where his boat nearly capsized), down the Allegheny River (in canoe) to the Ohio River at Pittsburgh. West on the Ohio 988 miles to the Mississippi, then up the Missouri all the way to Montana/Idaho. He's about to hook up with some river that'll take him, I assume, to the Columbia River and the Pacific Ocean. (I've still got about 50 more pages to read.) In a few places he had to portage because of lack of navigable water, i.e., from Lake Erie to the Allegheny, around some of the Missouri River dams in the Dakotas, at the end of the Missouri in Montana.
