His extended tour of the country provided a rich opportunity for reassessment of the national character and experience. Using the tour as the focal point of his book, Professor Somkin employs it as a cultural stethoscope with which to sound the heart of American society in the crucial years between the death of the Founding Fathers and the coming Civil War.".
