The book was published anonymously, as written by “A Citizen of the United States,” but it’s generally recognized that McBride was the author. Born in Pennsylvania in 1788, McBride migrated to the “Symmes Purchase” at age eighteen, where he made enough money as a merchant to become a historian of the Miami country’s early white settlement and accumulated arguably the most extensive library in the area—of which, presumably, Symmes generously availed himself. It has been suggested by one writer, in fact, that McBride was the brains behind Symmes’s hollow earth theory, directing his reading and thinking, and, puppetmaster-like, putting Symmes out there as the front man for it. But this seems unlikely.

“What Curiosity in the Structure: The Hollow Earth in Science” by Duane Griffin is an excellent, short historical paper surveying scientific thinking about the hollow earth, down to the present. Quite readable though aimed for an academic audience. It is available online at
