Description
"Herbert Holtham, a Unitarian lay minister from Brighton, England, came to the United States in the spring of 1831, and spent several months traveling in the Northeast.". "Holtham recorded his impressions of both urban and rural scenes, the people and their opinions, family life, church life and activities, and reports of many conversations he had while traveling. The journal of his travels provides a superior set of impressions of America at the time from a man who brought to the transcription his skills of perception. Beyond the words, the journal contains thirty marvelous pencil and ink drawings of what he saw: scenes of Niagara Falls and downtown Rochester accompany paintings of the Capitol in Washington, a carriage operated by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and Independence Hall in Philadelphia."--BOOK JACKET.
