A German prince sails from Ghent to Boston and spends two years crossing the United States and Canada: Albany and the Erie Canal, Niagara, Montreal and Quebec, New York and Philadelphia, then south to Georgia, New Orleans and up the Mississippi. He notes towns, prisons, colleges, Shakers and plantations with a soldier’s eye and an outsider’s curiosity.
Both volumes of a detailed portrait of America in the age of John Quincy Adams. Download the free EPUB.
