About this Item

Original 1/2 cloth with marbled boards. Disbound, internally fine. This tour was limited to Virginia, including the current West Virginia, with most of the major cities and towns covered. Clark II 228: "There is little detailed description of things seen, but lengthy disquisitions on the state of society. . As a descriptive travel account, the book is disappointing . but as a patriotic, informed American's view of his country at that moment it is an excellent commentary on the times, a quotable contemporary document." Paulding was Washington Irving's brother-in-law. Howes P133, S&S 41247, 41738. Seller Inventory # b01273
