E-text prepared by Donald Lainson and revised by Joseph E. Loewenstein, M.D. Editorial note: Anthony Trollope travelled through the United States from August, 1861, to May, 1862. He visited all the states that did not secede except California. This book is partly a journal of his travels and partly his description of American customs and culture including industry, education, government, military affairs, religion, transportation, and even hotels. To an American of today it provides a revealing and fascinating picture of life at the time. The book was first published in two volumes by Chapman & Hall in 1862.
