About this audiobook

A sharp-eyed traveler provides a biting and often humorous critique of 19th-century America during a journey across the expanding nation. From the bustling cities to the wild frontiers, these observations capture the raw energy and contradictions of a young society. It remains a fascinating historical document that bridges the cultural gap between the Old World and the New.
