Synopsis
Excerpt from Hesperos or Travels in the West, Vol. 1 of 2
On we sped, and during that first and last, and only calm day, every one ate and drank and en joyed themselves. Breakfast at eight, not the usual miserable steamboat fare, horrid tea, limp toast, stale bread, and salt butter, but broiled fowls, kidneys, beefsteaks, Sold ham, dried herrings, and eggs in profusion. Every two hours through out the day, was the business Of eating renewed, in some Shape or other, and scarcely were the remains of one meal cleared away, when the stewards again entered in a body, laden with piles Of plates, which they dashed into their respective places with a force and velocity which never failed to excite my wonder and admiration.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. A collection of insightful letters, this book chronicles an adventurous journey across the Atlantic from Europe to the United States during the 1800s.

In addition to personal anecdotes, the author also notes details of the cities and towns they visit, from the bustling streets of New York to the desolate appearance of Newbury Port, offering a fascinating glimpse into the history and culture of the United States as seen through the eyes of a visitor from afar.
