Book Description

Excerpt from Sketches of the South and West: Or Ten Months' Residence in the United States In the autumn of 1867, finding myself disestablished, but happily not altogether disendowed - after thirty years' grind in official life - and there being much to induce me to make an extended tour in the United States, where a number of my wife's relatives and connections resided, our passage was taken in the Cunard s.s. Cuba, to sail for Boston on the 27th of September in that year. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
