Excerpt from Journal in America: 1837-1838
The greater part of the information which should be put before the reader is included in the historical introduction. It remains here to call attention to the editorial principles which have been used in the preparation of the manuscript for the press. As far as possible the original manuscript has been produced verbatim. Where it has been necessary to supply words or add letters in words in order to make the meaning clear the portion supplied is printed in brackets. A few slight errors have not been reproduced. The capitalization and punctuation in the original manuscript has been followed.
I am under obligations to the Burton Historical Collection of the Detroit Public Library for the loan of the manuscript. I owe much to Dr. George N. Fuller, Secretary of the Michigan Historical Commission, for valuable help and suggestions.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a firsthand account of an English couple's experiences as they journeyed through the United States and Canada in 1837. Their writings capture the social, political, and economic environment of the period. Along their travels, they join an ecstatic crowd in welcoming a prominent political figure on his election day; they witness the horrors of a Niagara Falls accident and the filthy conditions of the Erie Canal; and they encounter the prejudices of those who favor warring factions in Canada. The author, a keen observer and a strong supporter of English institutions, provides a fascinating glimpse into the United States and Canada of the mid-19th century, a time of great change and turmoil.
