Charlene Gourguechon's Journey to the end of the world Book

Trollope took a tour of the U.S. during the Civil War. I picked this up at my Dad's house for some reason. His reflections on American customs and morays are amusing, and his observations on what he sees as immutable differences between North and South sound all too familiar, chilling, but too simple. An interesting glimpse of a young America through the eyes of a novelist who was an imperialist (and a racist), a realist, and enjoyed the study of people.
