This is an amazing first hand account of travels in 19th century America and Canada. I learned so many new things--- as if I were right there. The fear of getting cholera was fascinating to find out about as was the author's interaction with Native Canadians in their wigwams. Very well read too. Don't miss this one! Terrific Travelogue!! alamedared 2008-04-25 04:00:59 2008-04-25 04:00:59 5 1 5.00
