An Englishman's Travels in America (His Observations Of Life and Manners in the Free and Slave States)

John Benwell's notes on his incredible journey across pre-Civil War America take him from New York City to the South, in a time of seen in retrospect with great horror by many modern Americans. He remarks on the cultures of Native Americans, African Americans, white men and women with the candor of his time and charm of his culture. His speech sometimes curt about American customs of that day may show us not how different but, most importantly, alike we still are to our forefathers.
