Review # 1 was written on 2014-01-11 00:00:00 John Wolforth I thoroughly enjoyed this book as it gave an interesting perspective on life in America--albeit in the 19th Century--and gave insight into why our society, at least in part, works as it does today. I especially enjoyed the chapter on Oscar Wilde's travels in America. This is a "must read" for anyone who wants to better understand America and Americans, and who wouldn't mind a laugh or two along the way.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-10-21 00:00:00 Eudene Mcdowell Read this for my British and American Relation class. Seeing a growing America from the perspective of these relatively famous British people is pretty interesting. I especially liked Dickens and Trollope, mostly because they had a negative experience here and it was fun to analyze their ideas based on that. Others were pretty boring though.
